Samba percussion instrumentsI'm not an expert but played percussion in a percussion ensemble (in the UK) for a couple years and we did a couple of sambas (which are v Latin American - i think samba originated in Brazil).

The instruments we used included tambourine (like a tambourine but without the jingles and played with a special stick in quite a skilled way), shakers, snares, cowbells, surdos (massive drums you can hang round your neck on big straps played with big mallets usually), oh and a ?sp repinique or something like that... I THINK that was a drum i played but can't remember exactly what... there was also this really strange instrument you played with a cloth and it made a weird squeaky sound but i can't remember what it was called.... and probably loads else besides, they literally have a TON of stuff but i just can't remember it all!
