Ganzá Jorhinho 6 x 20cm - loud aluminium shaker with tree seed filling

Powerful, loud sound with hard Pau Brasil tree seeds - a loud compact shaker for Maracatus and Samba bands. Aluminium has finer and less rustic sound qualities than steel sheet, hard natural seeds used as filling produce a penetrating and powerful shaking sound. Similar to the Cuban torpedo, the ganza is typically held with both hands, one at each end and is not shaken simultaneously in one direction but instead in opposite directions. This style of playing is often seen in Latin percussion such as Cumbia or Merengue, but also in the Maracatus. The rhythm created like this drives pushes the music forward and causes heavy cases of excellent mood. Of course, you can also play the ganza traditionally. Handmade by Jorginho.
