I’m Jim Metzner and this is the Pulse of the Planet.Driving towards the town of Feira de Santana, I saw some vaqueros on horseback, herding their cattle. We stopped the car, and I went over to the cowboys and asked if I could record any of them singing their call, the aboyo. Sure they said, but we only do it on horseback, to the cows. So for the next hour or so, I stayed with them as the managed their herd of long horned cattle. The aboyo of the Brazilian vaqueros. Check out our website pulseplanet.com for some exciting news.
