Castanets

By: María Carrasco 6ºA

What is it made of?

Castanets are made of wood and have four holes with cords to tie them to the fingers

What does it do the castanets?

They are used to play music while the folk dancers dance or to accompany the rondalla

Why are they special to me? How I feel?

I have danced in a peña huertana since I was only 3 years old, which folklore has marked my life completely, due to this, since I was 7 or 8 years old I started with false castanets and it was something that suddenly on my own I practiced in my house by myself although my mother scolded me for the noise, so from there until today, folklore has always marked me and playing the false castanets. I feel glad and relax when i practice playing false castanets.

Whero do I keep it? Who gave it to me?

My mother gave them to me since I saw that my little brother and I danced in fear so that was my gift for dancing so well. She gaved me when i was 7 years old.

Is it breakable?

If it is breakable when you crack it very suddenly but they are made of a very resistant wood, they have fallen millions of times and they are still the same.
