Product information
The Guiro de Calabazo is an idiophone scraped with a stick on its front, which is hand-carved. The back of the instrument is held by a hole from which the calabash’s interior is extracted. This instrument has mostly been used as an accompaniment in Latin rhythms. Today, it is primarily found in northern Costa Rica, but it is less common due to the difficulty of obtaining calabashes, and it has been replaced by a commercial metal version. The recorded example was crafted by performer Daniel Mora.
