popularity abroad and is consi<strong>de</strong>red a<br />
true representation of the people of the<br />
rural areas of the <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Republic</strong>, as<br />
well as the sound of popular “fiestas”.<br />
• Tip•<br />
The güira is a typical <strong>Dominican</strong> instrument<br />
that consists of a grater ma<strong>de</strong> of latten brass<br />
in the shape of a hollow cylin<strong>de</strong>r that, when<br />
scratched with a scraper, emits a buzzing<br />
rhythmic sound. Our indigenous Indian<br />
population used it in the areíto, (Indian<br />
ceremonial song and dance). They ma<strong>de</strong><br />
it from the attractive fruit of the gourd, from<br />
which they extracted the pulp and then<br />
scraped it, to later rhythmically rasp it with a<br />
forked stick. There still are pericos ripiaos that<br />
use this type of güira.<br />
The perico ripiao, a minstrel trio, interprets<br />
various popular musical forms in the rural<br />
environment. The <strong>Dominican</strong> tambora (small<br />
drum) owes its peculiar sound to having on<br />
one si<strong>de</strong>, the hi<strong>de</strong> of an old male goat,<br />
tempered with native rum and, on the other,<br />
that of a young female goat that has not given<br />
birth.
