[18]The Medio is the medium-sized, and has the mid-tone, and pairs best with a biriba of medium stiffness. Hence the name, duh! It is generally the one that keeps the rhythm, though of course one can still play repiques and variations. Keith Richards would be on the Medio (If he wasn’t on the cachaça). The Bootle Gourd is thought to be one of the first plants to be cultivated by humans.

Don’t throw the off cut away! You can use this for the base of a home made caxixi 🙂 Er on the side of caution when cutting – you can sand the hole bigger, but you can’t make it smaller! The cabaça will be full of seeds and dried out flesh. These need to be scraped out using a “Raspinha” (scrapy thing). At the basic level, the size of the cabaça determines whether the berimbau will be a viola, medio or gunga. Cabaça — Made from a hollowed-out and dried gourd, the cabaça is used to amplify the sound of the arame.To play the open string sound, one strikes the string less than an inch up from the gourd string, with the bow balanced on the little finger so that the gourd is opened. One can grossly tune the open sound, by loosening the arame, and by sliding the gourd a little up or down from the place where the sound is best. Sua origem se perde na poeira dos milênios, porque o instrumento nada mais é que um modelo de arco. Um dos primeiros instrumentos usados pelo homem para produzir sons, há quase 20 mil anos.

The biriba is used due to its combination of strength and suppleness (just like a capoerista!). This allows the berimbau to be flexed and armed many times throughout its life, without losing it’s tension or breaking (Bear in mind, however, they are not indestructible, and be careful not to over tense them especially when they are new, and disarm them when you are not using them). The Berimbau in its Natural Habitat…

Los toques se ejecutan golpeando el alambre con la baqueta y entre los más utilizados se encuentran. This form of self-defense was disguised as a dance or game to protect those who practiced it, as slaves weren’t traditionally allowed to take part in any sort of activity that would give them an advantage against their owners for fear of an uprising. In that same hand in which the baqueta is held, the player would hold a rattle small in size, called a caxixi, that would then maintain an underscoring rhythm, coinciding with the strong, bold cadence created by the striking of the string. The berimbau, as played for capoeira, basically has three sounds: the open string sound, the high sound, and the buzz sound.

The berimbau consists of a wooden bow ( verga – traditionally made from biribá wood, which grows in Brazil), about 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 metres) long, with a steel string ( arame – often pulled from the inside of an automobile tire) tightly strung and secured from one end of the verga to the other. A gourd ( cabaça), dried, opened and hollowed-out, attached to the lower portion of the verga by a loop of tough string, acts as a resonator. O berimbau passou por diversas transformações ao longo dos anos, incluindo mudanças no formato e na forma de tocar; El encargado de llevar acabo el tocado del instrumento de berimbau usa la mano izquierda ( o derecha dependiendo si es zurdo ) para sujetar el instrumento y con una piedra o una moneda aprieta más o menos la cuerda, mientras con la mano derecha la percute con un palo. Caxixi — A small percussion instrument, which consists of a closed basket containing seeds, which is shaken to produce a rhythmic sound. When played with the berimbau, it is held by a loop handle in the same hand as the baqueta, so that it shakes when the baqueta strikes the arame. It is believed that the caxixi summons good spirits, and wards against evil ones. Now we have our nice smooth verga, the next step is to make the foot – this is where we’ll attach the arame at the bottom.
