I love playing the hand drum. It is a widely used musical instrument during Christmas in Jerez to sing Christmas carols. In this city, in the south of Spain, it is a tradition to play it in the street. The whole city becomes very jolly and people sing and dance non-stop. The hand drum is highly appreciated during Christmas in Jerez for its unique and special sound. For this reason, I recommend that you to try it if you haven't done it yet and to enjoy this instrument.

I'll be right with you...
