Brilliant, what a way to begin my Friday before I start work, now I'm in a Party mood... :)

A lot of times when I hear this music, it is accompanied by some sort of monkey sound in the background. I can't describe it any other way... but I have been trying to figure out for the longest time what that sound is. Does anyone know what I am talking about? What kind of instrument is that?

[AxeManJax]

@MadeInDC1983 As far as I know, it's called a Cuíca (There's a wikipedia entry)

[MadeInDC1983]

@AxeManJax Thanks. Gonna look it up now. I love that music because of that sound. It's so different.

[MadeInDC1983]

@AxeManJax  You were right! That's the noise that I was talking about.

[AxeManJax]

@MadeInDC1983 Glad to help! :D Also notice the guy at 1:00 - 1:07. He's totally in a trance. The power of the rhythm...

[MadeInDC1983]

@AxeManJax LOL  It's the drugs.

[AxeManJax]

@MadeInDC1983 Don't need drugs when you're high on music, dude! ;)

[MadeInDC1983]

@AxeManJax Yea I know I was just kidding. He looked kinda tired though. ... like he had probably been out there partying all day and all night. lol
