Merengue music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A güira (Gwee-ra) is a percussion instrument that sounds like a maraca but in fact is a sheet of metal perforated with a nail, shaped into a cylinder, and played with a stiff brush. The guira is brushed steadily on the downbeat with a "and-a" thrown in at certain points, or played in more complex patterns that generally mark the time. It uses a large horn section with paired saxophones, piano, and conga in addition to tambora, guira, and bass. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Merengue_(music)   (558 words)
