Maracas are percussion instruments commonly used in Latin and Caribbean music. They mark the beat like drums do, and they are fairly simple to play. Most traditional maracas are made out of dried, hollow gourds or coconut shells, and they're filled with dry beans or pebbles.

Different sounds can be made with a single maraca: it can be hit with one hand by making a hard deep noise or it might be shaken back and forth giving a lighter and echoing sound. If one hand is pressed against the leather top, the seeds bounce against the metal and shell inside making a tin texture.
