The MEINL Berimbau is another traditional African instrument that is a commonly found in the music from Brazil and other South American countries. It is the staple instrument of Capoeira, the famous martial arts dance. The thin striker and a caxixi are held in the right hand, while the left hand supports the bow and modulates the string with a small metal disc. The whole instrument is moved off-and-on the
abdomen, opening and closing the resonant gourd, for a captivating “wah-wah” effect.
