Mango festival - Baní 2018
thanks. You take a wire brush type thing with a handle and run it along the metal grater thing, and it makes a sound. It's used as a musical instrument.
it's the thing in the guy's right hand, what appeared to be flexible wires in a wooden handle. I didn't touch it.
Our house isn’t far from Baní, these are some of the mangoes and avocados picked there this morning
My wife playing the güira. You can hear it in lots of Dominican music. Closer to playing a washboard.

kind of. but maybe more like a car puttering out or a tire losing air?

That's the sound I am accustomed to. To me it has a maraca like sound when the player brushes the guira, as opposed to when it is hit.
Anyway, back on topic....Mangos.
:classic: mob
right now i have mango festival in my kitchen. the season is in full swing and i get dozens of bags of mangoes from my mother in law on the top of whatever i collect walking the dogs. i believe she is taking a revenge on me for gifting her about 20 kg of cajuil last year. little does she know i already have 3 big bags of cajuil in my freezer and this year - yet again - i will keep her tied to the stove for dulce de cajuil production.
anyways, i am making tons of mango puree so we can have fresh juice in the winter. i also made mango ice cream and mango cheesecake (baked and no-bake). plus a bucket of mango spicy sauce. and today i will start mango and cardamon jam production line.
