The Ganzá is a simple percussion instrument, consisting of one or several hollow, aluminium cylinders, partly filled with sand, tiny metal balls or dried seeds.

In Samba bands, Ganzas play a “continuum” phrase, that is, a repetitive pattern, following a constant to and fro motion, emphasizing the main beat for others to pick out easily.

This large model is pretty loud and therefore suitable for outdoor performances.
