The Brazilian pife, better known regionally as a fife, is a native adaptation, with indigenous influence, of the popular European flutes. Made of taboca as the indigenous flutes, the Brazilian pife is used by the Northeastern caboclos for religious ceremonies and feasts. Other names for the pife are taboca and pífaro. Indigenous peoples of Brazil were manufacturing, and still making, flutes made with bamboo taboca. This is the case of the Indians Amondauas, Cariris, Guaranis and Fulniôs. A curiosity to be emphasized is that the cambembas Indians, from Alagoas, were considered incredible taboca players. [Citation needed] The name "cambembe" means something like "flute players." [Citation needed] Another curiosity , is the fact that in other countries, such as Bolivia, Peru and Uruguay, there are, in their musical culture, wind instruments identical to the Brazilian fife, but with other names. [citation needed] And there are also, in other countries, instruments if not the same, very similar, as the Japanese shinobue, nohkan and ryuteki, besides the Indian bansuri.

For João do Pife, a pamper of Caruaru, "The sound of the pife came from the forest, it came from the Indian and passed down from generation to generation." [Citation needed]

Chau do Pife's "No one walks alone" album cover explains the origin: "The tradition of the Alagoas Fife suit goes back to the colonial period and originates in the encounter with African" music of leather "with the flutes Indians "Cambembes, who inhabited the region, were considered to be great pife players." Professor Alfredo Brandão teaches that 'cambembe' means 'taboca Indians'. "

However, like any cultural manifestation of Brazil, the culture of the pife is the result of the influence of several cultures. The indigenous flutes adapted to the arrival of European music and began to be made with the same holes of the phantoms of the military bands of Europe. Later, the Brazilian phalanx bands began to show African influence, adopting a more percussive sound.

These traditions were absorbed and adapted by the men of the interior of Brazil for their culture and the pife became a common instrument used to animate every festival, including sacred events such as novenas. The festivals and the music made by this type of band constitute, along with other manifestations, the embryo of musical genres linked to the forró.

It is remarkable, however, that the arrangement of the holes of the Brazilian pife came from the pipes of medieval Europe. Uniform the technique of making popular flutes in Brazilian territory.
