They aren't. Maracas are just one of many music instruments found troughout the world. In their specific case, maracas were "invented" by the Arawak people (present-day Venezuela and Colombia) before contact with Europeans was made.
Maracas are a musical instrument, usually played when people perform Caribbean and Latin music. It is played along other instruments such as the bongos, congas, guitars, cellos and violins. Now, this music is usually played during celebrations and parties, such as the Quinceanera (Sweet Fifteen), weddings, and birthdays.
Hundreds of years ago in Africa, people played hollow logs over holes in the ground, which is the origin of the marimba. It was brought by African slaves to South America in the early 16th century. The modern marimba style/shape originated in Latin America. The first chromatic marimba was made by Jose Chaequin and Manuel Lopez and was introduced to the public in Guatemala in 1874. The Marimba was first introduced to North America in 1908 by the Hurtado family marimba band. They started making marimbas in the US around 1910.
The history of the maracas is best traced through the artwork of pre-Columbian Indians, especially the tribes in Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, and Paraguay. The word maraca is believed to have been given to the instrument by the Araucanian people of central Chile. It is used for all gourd rattles although some also have more specific names. In the region of West Africa along the Atlantic Ocean called Guinea, native people tell the legend of a goddess making a maraca by sealing white pebbles in a calabash, a hard gourd that is also shaped into cooking utensils. Natives of the Congo in Africa and the Hopi Indians in America share the tradition of using turtle shells and baskets for rattles; when settlers brought European goods to America, native Americans collected empty shell cartridges, metal spice boxes, and cans to make rattles.
