In Morocco, at the end of the days of dance classes, we had evening entertainments after dinner. 2 of them featured a Gnawa group. This is a style of music that is high energy, has lots of clapping, giant clacky cymbal things, drums, and an indescribably loud percussion instrument which is actually a car wheel placed on the head and hit rhythmically with metal sticks.
If you tip them and ask nicely they will let you play their indescribably loud head car-wheel thing!
