can you say cuíca (kuWEEkah) without a smile?

video

This video was shot at Tia Doca's pagode in Madureira in November 2007. To get there I had to take a bus, subway and a train for about an hour and a half. Carlinhos da Cuíca is a legendary player, considered one of the best cuíca players in Rio. In Brazil you don't get to take on the instrument as a last name unless you got mad skills...
