Maracas

Maracas (sometimes called rhumba shakers) are simple percussion instruments (idiophones), usually played in pairs, consisting of a dried calabash or gourd shell or coconut shell filled with seeds or dried beans.
They may also be made of leather, wood, or plastic. Often one maraca is pitched high and the other low.
Maracas are heard in many forms of Latin music and are also used in pop and classical music. They are considered characteristic of the music of Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil. In rock and roll, they are probably most identified with Bo Diddley.
