context_page_description: The quijada, charrasca, or jawbone, is an idiophone percussion instrument made from the jawbone of a donkey, horse or mule cattle, producing a powerful buzzing sound.
  The jawbone is cleaned of tissue and dried to make the teeth loose and act as a rattle.
  It is used in music in most of Latin America, including Mexico, Peru, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Cuba. It was also historically used in the early American Minstrel show.
