At what point in "Alphabet Street" is this sound? ("Alphabet Street," incidentally, is far and away my fave Prince song).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 12 June 2004 01:30 (twenty-one years ago)

it's called "cuica,"
an afro-brazilian
percussion thingie

very difficult
to play well melodically,
easy just for fun

Oh, okay, I know the sound you mean.

"Battucada" by Towa Tei features a bit of it, i believe.
