This percussion instrument, of Afro-Peruvian origins, is used in most coastal variations of the marinera, as well as música criolla (Creole) and música negra (Afro-Peruvian) genres in general. The instrument is crafted from a wooden box which features a soundhole at the back. The musician sits on top and slaps on the front surface with the palms of his hands. Although of simple appearance, the instrument has built up a following outside Peru, including its recent incorporation into flamenco.
We do have the lowest prices. We will meet or beat any internet published rates from companies outside Peru for all package tours. All HOTELS and TOURS are based on US standards.
