HOW TO CREATE: GANZA, AGOGO, TAMBOURIM, REPINIQUE
Use house-hold items such as tubs, bottles and plastic containers. Recycle them in to Samba Instruments.
Filling them with items such as rice, pasta, or anything safe that makes a sound will replicate a variety of the instruments.
You could just make a drum out of a biscuit tin. Or, a shaker from a bottle filled with rice! Remember – you should decorate your instrument. Make it colourful. Possibly make it in the colours of the Brazilian flag?
