Tambourines were present in European folklore and in Cantabria they have a great relevance in the cultural heritage and for the background percussion of the traditional music played by women. The tambourine is a percussion instrument forged on a wooden ring incorporating metal rattles, with a hollow central part which is covered by a goat or sheep leather.
