Cuba has a rich musical heritage deeply rooted in African, European, and indigenous influences. Folk music in Cuba often features a wide array of traditional musical instruments, many of which have Afro-Cuban origins. Here are some notable folk musical instruments commonly used in Cuban music:

  1. Tres Cubano: The Tres Cubano is a traditional Cuban guitar-like instrument with three sets of double strings. It is an essential instrument in various Cuban music genres, including son, changüí, and bolero.
  2. Bongos: Bongos are a pair of small, hand-held drums consisting of one larger drum (hembra) and one smaller drum (macho). They are played with the hands and are integral to Afro-Cuban music styles such as rumba and mambo.
  3. Congas: Congas are tall, narrow, single-headed drums of Afro-Cuban origin. They are played either individually or in sets of two or three and are used in various Cuban music genres, including son, salsa, and Afro-Cuban jazz.
  4. Claves: Claves are a pair of small, cylindrical wooden sticks struck together to produce a sharp, percussive sound. They serve as the rhythmic backbone in many Cuban music styles, providing the clave pattern that underpins the music.
  5. Maracas: Maracas are percussion instruments consisting of hollow gourds filled with seeds or beads and attached to handles. They are shaken to produce a rhythmic, rattling sound and are commonly used in Cuban son, salsa, and other genres.
  6. Guiro: The guiro is a percussion instrument made from a hollowed-out gourd or wooden cylinder with notches or grooves carved into its surface. It is played by scraping a stick or rod across the grooves to create a raspy, scraping sound and is often used in Cuban son and rumba.
  7. Tumbadoras (Tumbadoras): Also known as timbales, tumbadoras are large, single-headed drums with metal shells. They are played with sticks or hands and are a key component of Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz ensembles.
  8. Güiro: Similar in name to the guiro, the güiro is a scraper percussion instrument made from a ridged gourd or wooden cylinder. It is played by rubbing a stick or rod across its ridges to produce a raspy, rhythmic sound.
