The term guiro or dikanza refers to idiophonic instruments whose sound is produced by scraping.
There are two basic types: the Brazilian reco-reco, which is made of steel, used in traditional samba, pagoda and samba-plot batteries, and the wooden reco-reco that is used in Latin American music, in styles such as cumbia and salsa.
The Brazilian reco-reco consists of a metal box with 3 steel springs stretched over the top. Sound is produced by the friction of a metal drumstick.
The wooden reco-reco consists of a bamboo slab or a wooden slat with a set of cross-cut butchers. The sound is produced by the scraping of a drumstick.
