General
These wooden maracas shape a sharp-and-defined sound fit for virtually all styles of music. Meanwhile, the oval shape and red, yellow and green rasta-style colours only add to the upbeat vibe. Whether you're part of a mariachi band, a percussion group or a classical ensemble, these Meinl-made maracas are a great addition.
The Meinl MWM1MC Wooden Maracas
Maracas are a traditional Latin-American percussion instrument that was first played by natives in Columbia roughly 1,500 years ago. Back then, they were made of gourds or coconuts, filled with dried seeds and finished with a wooden handle. Nowadays, they're generally made of wood and plastic.
