maracas
Danh từ
This term refers specifically to the pair of rattles used in Latin American music. While the word is used as a collective noun for the instrument, it is almost always encountered in the plural form because the instrument is played as a pair.
In a musical context, it is distinguished from other shakers by its handle, which allows the performer to maintain a precise rhythmic grip. It carries a strong cultural association with salsa, son, and other Afro-Caribbean genres.
