Chácaras are a type of castanets from the Canary Islands. They are an idiophonic and chattering instrument, with an interior cavity.
Chácaras are used in the traditional music of the islands of El Hierro and La Gomera, the latter being very big, bigger than the hands of the player. They are often accompanied by tambor drums and chanting, and by dancers performing the baile de tambor (drum dance).
When playing, a pair of chácaras is held in each hand, secured by the cord, and the hands are shaken. The macho (male) chácara, with a deeper sound, held in one hand, sets the rhythm, and the hembra (female) chácara, in the other hand, is the one that chimes.
In the other islands there are similar smaller instruments, but they are called castañuelas (castanets).
Despite not appearing in the archaeological record, etymological analysis suggests a pre-colonial Guanche origin for this instrument, its name possibly related to Berber words such as šakar, meaning "hoof".
Chácara is a municipality in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Its population was recorded at 2737 in the 2010 census.
See you coming with your sister,
See her skin her hands are blistered,
Tongue so tied she speaks in whispers.
And it feels like something, something good,
And it feels just like, just like it should.
Just like it should.
This should be a time for grieving,
Help me god my heart is bleeding,
Please don't touch me when I'm screaming
And it feels like something, something good,
And it feels just like, just like it should.
Just like it should.
Hey boy let me look at your hands
Let me look at your face
Let me look at your inside
Hey boy let me look at your hands
Let me look at your face
Let me look at your
Inside, inside, inside
And it feels like something, something good,
And it feels just like, just like it should.
Just like it should.
Just like it should.
Just like it should.
