Hi All,
On the cut by King Britt/Sylk 130 called 'Seasons
Change', you can hear the cuica in the beginning part
of the music. BTW, get a Coke from McDonalds, slide
the straw back + forth, and you get the gist of how
the cuica works. Not that I'm endorsing Coke or
McDonalds, but that's just an example.
Take Care-----Paul Berger---
