Ganzá
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ganzá is a Brazilian rattle used as a percussion instrument, especially in samba music.
The ganza is cylindrically shaped, and can be either a hand-woven basket, or a metal canister which is filled with beads, metal balls, pebbles, or other similar items. Those made from metal produce a particularly loud sound.
The ganza is classified as an indirectly struck idiophone.
