What is the name of the drum from Brazil that makes random sounds mono?

This question is addressed to all the experts Latin Percussion there. Every time I hear a festive Brazilian samba, and sometimes when I hear a bossa nova, I hear this sound random mono in the background. It is a sharp "Oh Oh!" and no, I'm not crazy. The closest I could find on Google is an African talking drum, but I know it's not the same.

My best guess is the jump rope. There is a Wikipedia site with that title that has sound files can be heard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuíca Elsewhere <http://www.worldmusicalinstruments.com/MusicalInstrumentList.asp?CategoryID = 121> is a description that says: "The Cuica is also known as a puit, or boi onca. Cuica, in various forms, are found throughout the world. However, they are most closely associated with Brazilian Samba music. It is believed that the jump rope was used in Africa as a call for the male lion as the sound imitates the roar of female lioness. "But you may be able to figure out which instrument is from these sources: There is a really super (and short) article on these instruments: It http://www.innovativepercussion.org/pages/files/B_Ledbetter_Brazilian.pdf includes photos and descriptions of each instrument and a history of samba. RECOMMENDED READING! The description of the Cuica sounds like what you are describing. There is also the percussion samba defintions several here: http://www.geocities.com/willow_wilg/instrbraz.html It is not as complete as the previous site, but here's what they say about some of the drum: The drum Surdo Samba is great and is usually played with one hand and a stick with a great ball feel. In a battery are usually at least three surdos, playing three different patterns, which form the backbone of the music. La Caixa is the samba drum contra tempo difficult. They have to work too hard! They are maybe the strongest part of a battery. The Repenique also plays an integral role samba in a battery, but is often played with one hand and a stick and accentuates the backbeat, by using the hand for the first time the measure. The da Repenique calls and breaks in a composition. Agogo's coming at a good number of forms and shapes, are sometimes made of wood, but mostly metal. and always consist of a minimum of two tones. Some are flexible and can crush the two bells together, playing ghostnotes in the middle. The large metal shaker in the music of samba is called the Ganza. Only one game at a time and generally shook three models are very strong in the sound of the Tamborim is a small drum beaten with a plastic splitstick has acquired technique; In the middle, ie the third and the second note, the drum is turned, so you get a sound of hammering, which from two directions, down and up. It makes him ideal to see people play this instrument.
