Bring the vibrant sounds of a Mexican fiesta into your home with this authentic, handcrafted Wooden Matraca (Ratchet Noisemaker). Deeply rooted in Mexican culture and religious traditions, this instrument is a symbol of joy, celebration, and heritage.
A Sound of Tradition
The Matraca has a storied history in Mexico. Traditionally used during Holy Week (Semana Santa) to replace church bells, and famously whirled during Lucha Libre matches and Mexican Independence Day (Grito de Dolores), it produces a loud, rhythmic "clack" that commands attention.
