People still play these…
I’m fascinated by it because it looks giant, yet comfortable/ergonomic.
The Brazilian instrument you mentioned above that image, the berimbau is used for Brazilian fighting style called Capoeira. The musician playing it holds a shaker and a long stick at the same time in one hand. They use their stick and shaker hand to smacks the string and create a cool, bony boing boing boing, boing type sound. I’ve always wanted to try one.
I know a famous song that has it in the beginning. I can hear the song now, but I can’t remember the name of it. I’ll look for it… 🫠

I'm glad to read you actually recognize some of the instruments and that you know a lot about these. There were so many interesting ones that I was amazed and the best thing was you could check the sound of these instruments as there was a tablet with short videos.
Thanks for the valuable info :)
Oh, good for them to have those sounds available to hear. Cool exhibit!
Here it is…
And then here’s a video of the dude fighting/dancing. I can see three people in the background standing next to each other playing the berimbaus. I can’t hear them at all, but I could see them, lol…
