"Guiro"

Sounds like nasty name to call somebody.

But, literally, it's a musical instrument that resembles a gourd and has many ripples on the surface.  You play it by striking or brushing it with a thin stick.

Yeah... The stuff I could learn at local concert performances.  I had heard guiros a few times before on old Harry Belafonte recordings, but never paid that much attention until I saw somebody live, playing it.  Later, I asked the conductor about it.

I might buy one.
