When was the shaker invented a musical instrument?
The term shaker is applied to a number of instruments with very different histories. They belong to a classification called "shaken idiophones or rattles," and include maracas, rainsticks, and many more. Maracas began as dried gourd shells filled with seeds or beans, and arose in many Latin American countries. Rainsticks are hollow tubes with pins or thorns arranged in a spiral inside, with pebbles or beans that fall from one end to the other; they are considered to have been Aztec instruments believed to encourage rainfall. A caxixi is a woven basket with a piece of gourd covering it and seeds or pebbles inside, used across Africa but also in Brazil. It can make different sounds based on whether you shake it so the seeds hit the basket or the gourd. A shekere is a dried grourd with beads woven into a net covering it. It is found across Africa under a wide variety of names, and is known in Cuba as a chekere or aggue, and in Brazil as xequere.
