The Pandeireta is a traditional percussion instrument from the Iberian Peninsula, particularly associated with the regions of Portugal and Spain. It is a type of frame drum, typically made of wood and covered with animal skin. The instrument is played by striking the surface with the hands or fingers, producing a rhythmic sound that is often used in folk music and dance. This instrument is commonly found in various cultural celebrations and festivals, where it accompanies traditional songs and dances. The Pandeireta is similar to other frame drums, such as the tambourine, but it has its unique characteristics and playing techniques that reflect the rich musical heritage of the regions it represents.
