WOODWINDS
The Dessana tribe from the Amazon utilizes the Buzina de Bambu as a customary wind instrument during their rituals. On the other hand, the Buzina de Motor imitates the sound of boat horns from vessels traversing the Black River in the Amazon. Another woodwind, the Buzina Tariano, was created by Caribaia, a native of the Train tribe, and is employed to summon neighboring tribes during times of celebration.

The Yapurutu Pachiúba is a remarkable instrument crafted from a Pachiúba rod, banana straw, and beeswax. Legend has it that the Uirapuru bird dwelled inside the instrument and played it by itself. However, once the bird departs, men must play the instrument themselves.
An adapted version of the Yapurutu employs a PVC tube, electrical tape, and durepox. This instrument is commonly played during dancing festivities.
Unlike other wind instruments, the Yapurutu has no holes along its body. Musicians can create a variation in sound by adjusting the intensity of their breath.
