The instrument

Muletone presents Brazilian Series Cuíca 2. With more rhythmic variations and loops, the library features new groove options and varied rhythms than in the first version. Despite it’s East / African origin the Cuíca has become a genuine instrument in Brazil. As part of samba schools from the 1930's the Cuíca is present in various aspects of Brazilian music and became a tool with features typical of Brazil. It’s execution combines technical, swing and has a unique sound. A novelty in the new libraries is the individual control of session microphones. You can mix 2 distinct microphones in different positions providing more freedom and timbre options in the song. Control the microphones even within the loops. The Cuíca 2 was recorded by the great musician and percussionist Robson "Batata" renowned Brazilian musician.
