From South America - Bombo (pictured) & Cajon (not pictured) are both drums. Chajchas are made of goat hooves and serve a similar purpose as the Mexican maraca. The "Palo de Lluvia" (Rainstick) is utilized to produce the natural sounds of rain or water. Other percussons incorporated by TINKU include Claves, Chimes, Maracas (Mexico), Cymbals, Cow Bell & Shakers. Percussions are thought to have been introduced to Latin America by the Spaniards who, in turn, acquired the persussion rhythms from the Africans. The South American Indians then created their unique versions of percussion instruments such as the Bombo & Cajon using the materials available in their homeland.
