A percussion instrument crafted from a hollowed-out gourd, which features intricate ridges meticulously carved into its surface, this unique instrument is played by scraping a specially designed stick along these ridges. This technique produces a variety of rhythmic sounds that can vary in pitch and intensity, allowing for a rich tapestry of musical expression. The combination of the gourd’s natural resonance and the player’s skill creates an engaging auditory experience that adds depth and rhythm to diverse musical genres.
