Brazilian Series: Cuica

Cuica by Muletone Audio is a Kontakt library of a traditional Brazilian percussion instrument that is maybe the most recognizable sound from Brazil.

Often compared to the sound of a monkeys voice, the Cuica whoops, squeaks, and sings along with the other rhythms. The sound is generated by sliding a straw through the head of the drum. The detail in this library gives this instrument a high degree of playability and cultural authenticity. Perfect for world music, Samba, film score, electronic, and good ol’ fashion fun.

You’ll definitely want to monkey around with this instrument for a while.
