Maracas ( pronunciation (help·info)), sometimes called rumba shakers and various other names, are percussion musical instruments—rattles—that originated in Latin America. They are classified as idiophoness. Players hold them by their handles, usually in pairs, and shake them. Traditional maracas con(cuia"koo-ya") or coconut shell filled with seeds or dried beans and mounted on a wooden handle. Modern maraca balls are also made of leather, wood, or plastic
