Although a uncomplicated instrument, the method of playing the maracas is not obvious. The seeds must travel some distance before they hit the leather, wood, or plastic, so the player must anticipate the rhythm. 

Maracas are heard in many forms of Latin music and are also used in pop and classical music. They are considered characteristic of the music of Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil. Maracas are often played at celebrations and special events. In rock and roll, they are probably most identified with Bo Diddley, or Bez from the Happy Mondays.
