Plural of castanet; a pair or set of small percussion instruments used together, especially in flamenco and Spanish music.
Plural form of 'castanet,' from Spanish 'castañetas,' derived from 'castaña' (chestnut).
Professional flamenco dancers can make castanets create entire conversations with their feet and hands—the rhythm and clicking patterns are so complex that audiences forget they're just pieces of wood clicking together.
