The berimbau is a traditional Afro-Brazilian musical bow, made from a wooden stick, a steel string and a dried gourd resonator, and it has long been the leading instrument in capoeira. In a roda, the berimbau player sets the pace and style of the game, signalling when players enter, speed up or change rhythm. This short clip is credited to Mestre Suassuna e Dirceu, placing it in that capoeira music tradition. Online, creators reuse the instantly recognisable twang to signal Brazil, rhythm and movement in seconds.
