Cuíca
Cuíca ((:kuˈikɐ)), or "kuweeca", is a Brazilian friction drum with a large pitch range, produced by changing tension on the head of the drum. Cuíca is Portuguese for a type of small opossum which is known to make a high-pitched sound. It is most often used in samba music. The tone it produces has a high-pitched squeaky timbre. It has been called a 'laughing gourd' due to this sound. Many also claim that the cuica has a "monkey" sound.
==History==
There are a number of styles of cuíca found around the globe. Its origins are disputed. Different sources trace it to Bantu slaves, to Spain, and to Muslim traders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://finearts.grinnell.edu/FMPro?-db=world_music_room.fp5&-format=%2Finstruments%2Fformat_files%2Fearly%2Finst_record.html&-lay=entry&-sortfield=name&-sortfield=inventory_id&use_on_web=yes&collection=world&category=membranophone&-max=1&-skip=10&-find= )〕 It is also believed that the cuica was used in Africa as a call for the male lion since the sound mimics the roar of the female lioness. The instrument was introduced to Brazil by African slaves, where it found its place in Samba music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Cuica )〕
