Sarronca

The sarronca, zambomba, runcho or furruco[1][2] is a traditional percussion musical instrument, more precisely a rubbed membranophone.

It is typical of Portugal, Spain, where it usually accompanies villancicos, aguinaldos, and other popular songs.

It is also used in traditional music in latin american countries such as Colombia or Venezuela.

It is composed of a stretched skin over a hollow container that serves as a resonance box (which may be a can, a jug, a wooden cylinder or similar).

[3] The center of the skin is pierced by a wood stick or a reed, and the sound is obtained by moving the rod downward and upward, so that the rod rubs the stretched skin.
