	Brazil is recognized as the birthplace of the Bossa Nova and Samba styles. However, the diverse musical culture is a hot bed of even more exotic rhythms. This track, entitled, "Infin8" is based on a lesser known rhythm from the north-east called "maracatu". The strange "spring-like" intrument that you hear on the right channel is called a "Berimbau" or musical bow. The berimbau is constructed from a hallow gourd and a long pole. A metal wire bows from the top to the base of the pole, which is connected to the hallow gourd. The gourd is held against the abdomen to add resonance or vibrato, and the wire is hit with a stick to create the sound. The hand with the stick also holds a shaker filled with beans, which serves as a rattle. The player also uses an small stone that is pressed against the wire to add muting or counter rhythms. Traditionally, used to accompany the dancing martial art of capoeira, the berimbau is being incporporated into many facets of Brazilian music.
