content: This five-sided small plywood stomp box, called a <i>tarima</i>, was used by Martha Gonzalez of the Grammy-winning band, Quetzal. Music along the California borderlands mixes dynamic sounds of R&B and salsa with traditional rhythms from across the globe. The tarima, with roots in both African and Mexican musical traditions, is used like a drum when the performer creates rhythms by tap dancing upon it.
