Guaraní people
The takuapu (IPA: /takwa'pu /) is a musical percussion instrument used by the indigenous Guaraní people of South America, made from a hollow bamboo tube. The player grasps the takuapu in the middle, holds it vertically, and drops it so that it strikes the ground, producing a deep sound. The name "takuapu" is a compound of the Guaraní words "takua" (‘bamboo’) and "pu" (‘sound’).
