Cuica. Origin Country: Pakistan. 4 lbs. Made by Mid-East.
5" x 7". Nickeled brass with goatskin head. The Cuica is also known as a puita, boi or onca. Cuica, in various forms, are found world-wide. However they are most closely associated with Brazilian Samba music. It is 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. So if you have any lions that want to samba- this is the instrument for you. If you are short a lion, you will still enjoy the great sounds that can be derived from the cuica.

This cuica sounds great and also looks good. Glad I bought one. Some of the bolts protrude to limit the movement inside for large hands but still a lot of fun to play nice highs and lows.
