A large South American goose-like bird, or a type of rattle or percussion instrument used in Latin music.
From Portuguese 'ganso' meaning goose, borrowed from Latin 'anser.' The word traveled through colonial trade routes and became associated with both the bird and a musical instrument used in Brazilian and Caribbean music.
The ganza instrument is so integral to samba rhythm that Brazilian musicians consider it one of the heartbeat sounds of their culture—it's literally the pulse of celebration.
