Ayotl

A percussive friction instrument used to accompany dances, songs, and various rituals, such as the *balsería* game, which is a deeply important tradition for the Ngäbe ethnic group. Its name, *ayotl*, from the Nahuatl language, has spread due to its presence in various Mesoamerican traditions. In Costa Rica, it is called *ulíma lenh* in Maleku, and it exists as part of culinary customs, as the Maleku people raise and eat turtles. Once the process is complete, the shells are used as instruments, struck with mallets or rubbed by hand to produce sound.
