maracas
A pair of handheld percussion instruments, typically shown as two gourd-shaped rattles with handles
Meaning
A pair of handheld percussion instruments, typically shown as two gourd-shaped rattles with handles. It commonly represents Latin American music, percussion, or rhythm, and often appears in contexts involving dancing, parties, or celebration. People use it to convey a festive, lively mood or to signal music-making generally. It can also stand in for shaking or rattling motions. Because it is a specific instrument, using it for music broadly may be imprecise; it is most apt where percussion or a party atmosphere is intended.
