The *tambor boruka*, traditionally called *quebé*, is a bimembranophone with Afro-Panamanian influence and features a tensioned tie in the shape of an "N." Its music was used for various symbolic occasions, such as wars, rituals, and burials. These drums are made from hollow pejibaye trees, covered with leather tanned with salt and sun-dried. The selected leather often holds symbolic meaning and can come from animals such as black, snake, boa, or deer. This particular example is rare, as the construction of these drums has evolved due to the older age of the craftsmen, and there is concern over the lack of young apprentices to continue the tradition.
