Ganza

Samba Drums and percussion instruments / Samba shakers and scrapers / Ganza

The ganza is a cylindrical samba shaker. It is made from a metal tube, filled with pebbles or other small hard granular material. Ganzas range in size from small single pocket sized models to large double monsters.

Ganzas are instruments of traditional importance in samba baterias where they used to have the same function as a Chocalho. The ganza's sound is quieter and less aggressive than that of a chocalho, or rocar .

The ganza is widely used many musical styles as a general percussion instrument. These days ganzas are not much used in Rio samba schools as they are not loud enough to be heard - chocalhos have taken their place. But in smaller bands and in small samba group settings, the ganza is still a very common instrument all over Brazil.
