In-between songs, she was switching back and forth from the metallic güiro to the traditional and one. She was really good with both, but she was better with the metallic güiro. I was really impressed by it. The bigger instrument were played by the males, and the smaller ones played by the females. The band had three vocalist the two females and the conga player. Of course, the other female was playing the tambourine.
