Description:ENGLISH: Some Trumai men play the flutes called "Takwara". They play and dance at the same time (sometimes making a pause). There are conversations in the background, since the people who were watching the dance talk sometimes. The main purpose of this recording was not to register speech, but music. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Alguns homens Trumai tocam as flautas chamadas de "Taquara". Tocam e dançam ao mesmo tempo (às vezes fazendo uma pausa). Há conversas ao fundo, pois as pessoas que estavam olhando a dança às vezes falam entre si. O principal objetivo desta gravação não era registrar fala, mas música.
