Day 33 ~ Brazil (Queixada de burro / Donkey Jaw)

One last natural and obscure musical instrument ~ the Queixada de burro (Portuguese), or quijada de burro (Spanish), or donkey jaw, is used as a rhythm instrument.  When the first molar is secured, the other teeth will never fall out...just rattle.






While in Brazil mood, if you're up for a black and white Brazilian classic - Assault on the Pay Train - is exquisite like only old movies can be; delicate and subtle, stunning mix of great cinematography, music, and great acting....particularly the lead actress, a dear friend who 50 years later exudes the same intense grace, passion, and beauty, Luiza Maranhao.
