The reco-reco, also called caracaxá or querequexé, is a Brazilian percussion instrument of the family of scraped or scraped idiophones. It is a rhythmic musical accompaniment instrument. In the pagoda, for example, where it is often found, the rhythm section is reduced to its simplest expression: a surdo, a pandeiro, a tamborim, a reco-reco, a rebolo and some ganzas.
