Origin: Bolivia

The Chajchas is a small percussion instrument of the rattle family, typically made from goat or sheep clogs, and native to the central Andes.

The instrument is used in traditional rituals and ceremonies, and can also be heard in much of the folklore of the region, especially the countries of Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia.

It consists of a number of dried hooves (which can also come from llamas or alpaca) on a piece of colored fabric, which allows the instrument to be worn like a bracelet around the wrist or ankle.

They are usually played by two and can be used in dances ceremonial.
