Rasqueado
It is a joyful and contagious dance and music, which is traditional in Cuiabá. The rasqueado originates from the blend of the Paraguayan polka dancing and the siriri e cururu dancing of the riparian cuiabanos. The Paraguayans were retained in Mato Grosso because of Paraguay war against Brazil.
It is a typical rudimentary musical instrument of the Upper Paraguay River Basin. It is produced by craftsmen, guitarists and cururueiros. The "Viola de Cocho" is found in the wetland of Mato Grosso. Its name is taken from the trunk of solid wood and carved in the shape of a viola.
