Guiro is a Latin American percussion instrument primarily used for playing salsa and merngue music. During the performance, the performer uses a small stick to scrape the metal scraper on Guiro's shell, creating a unique sound. Guiro's sound is crisp and unique, often used to add rhythm to music. It has a wide range of applications in Latin music, especially in Cuban and Puerto Rican music. Guiro is often used in conjunction with other percussion instruments such as the bongo and conga drums to create rich musical effects.
