| Look: | Made from a dried, hollow gourd, the jug-shaped instrument features a woven mesh draped around the outside. The netting attaches to the neck so the beads can move freely along the sides. To play the shekere, one grasps the instrument on the top and bottom while rotating and shaking it to make the beads rattle against the gourd's smooth exterior. |
