How to Play the Guiro 

Sorry but it helps if you got the Cumbia blood in you 🤣

@@notchrisrivera7717 Cumbia typically uses guira. Guiro is usually used in Cuban music. Guess you don't have the blood in you lol

Well, I'm a musician and I'm trying to think of the easiest simplest instrument and, I think you're right. You'd be surprised at just how much technique goes into playing tambourine, maracas, claves and other simple percussion instruments. I heard one guy play the tambourine and it was amazing. It sounded almost like a whole drum set the way he did it.

That's a coqui, made to imitate the Puerto Rican frog of the same name.

Not a strong macho I see👀

I'm no expert but I've found that most of these Latin instruments have a hundred different names and they're played in a hundred different ways by different traditions throughout Latin America. It's pretty fascinating how a seemingly simple instrument can be used with so much diversity. I'm a bit of an ameteur musicologist. I love learning about this stuff.

@@PaulTheSkeptic indeed many things are used the drums are African origin while the maracas and Quiro are Amerindian orgin, the rest are European, all use too make one music in many Different ways.

@@williammoreno-pp1og Yep. It's a big old mix that makes the music we're used to hearing today. I'd love to be able to go back in time to hear the music poor people were playing in the 16 and 1700's. We know a lot about the European tradition with its standard musical notation but there's a lot we don't know about as well.

@@PaulTheSkeptic that’s true ,I barley know my peoples music lol, I just found out that we have many shaped drums not just the ones you see in Mayan and Aztec dances, we also have hand drums and small shaped ones, that sound middle eastern and African!

@@williammoreno-pp1og What is your people? I'm just a wasp from Florida but I love the blues and folk music and all kinds of music. It's more and more recognized just how much we owe to black people, creole people and all the repressed and discriminated against people for American music. Right now I'm learning the banjo and the history of the banjo is just fascinating. The banjo as we know it was probably invented by slaves but banjo like instruments have appeared in artworks going back to the beginning of the Columbian exchange throughout the American colonies and surrounding islands. Forgive me but this stuff is my passion. I don't mean to talk your ear off. Lol.

Yes he is this is Walter Galindo yes she's the man

Well, since he said that it's a Guiro made by Latin Percussion, I would start by Googling "latin percussion guiro".

Amazon . search "Latin Percussion LP243 Super Guiro with 2 Scrapers"

Always watch the video before showing it to the class

I guess Cubans be built differently

Fits right in with a full band. You don’t realize the difference until it’s NOT there.
