Abstract: The author focusses on the specific musical aspects of a form of instrumental polyphony in the Brazilian Amazon, namely the tule of the Asurini, taken as an identifiable sound product. After referring briefly to the global social and ritual context, he describes the instruments, the scales, the timbres and the musical structure of this instrumental tradition. He addresses in particular the principles of segmentation, the question of taxonomy, and the interaction between dancing and sound production.
