DescriptionA young man who was courting a woman who lived down away from her house had to cross a river to see her, and in one of these visits was devoured by a wild fish. She had been waiting for him and only his spirit came below her room to play the birimbau and tell her the tragedy. When the father of the deceased man came to her house she told the story of the birimbau and they found out what happened.

Recorded between 1964 & 1966.
