Berimbau de boca

The Berimbau de boca is a traditional Brazilian musical instrument often associated with the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira. It consists of a single-string bow made from a flexible wood, a gourd resonator, and a steel string. Played using a stick, players can produce rhythmic sounds and tones by striking the string and adjusting the tension. The term "de boca" translates to "of the mouth," as it involves vocal expression in its performance. The Berimbau de boca enhances capoeira music, guiding players' movements and creating a culturally rich atmosphere during practice or performance.
