Minuano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minuano is a cold wind that blows in the South of Brazil and in Uruguay. It is widely mentioned in the Gaúcho folklore of the region. This wind originates from cold polar fronts that come from the South west of South America during periods of high atmospheric pressure, usually following rains caused by the shock of the cold front with warmer stationary humid air.
"Minuano" is the title of a song by the Pat Metheny Group on the album Still Life (Talking).
