New Instrument: Venezuelan Maracas

https://s6.postimg.org/3qkpmwrf5/IMG_20171117_152815.jpg **Photography by:** Carlos Espinoza (mandolincarls) --- A few weeks ago I left here a fairly simple post announcing that with the income I had with Steemit I sent to build a Maracas, not any Maracas, if not a Professional Maracas (I'm new playing Maracas), are built in Carabobo State by the Luthier Carlos Daniel Perez. These Maracas came to me on the day **Friday 17/11/2017**, maybe I would have had them before, the whole week I passed with the doubt of when it would arrive, and on Friday I could not resist the anxiety of having them, and I ended up calling first time to the Shipping Agency, in this case MRW, being this call the first good news of the day, they were already there, I prepared quickly for the trip, I say trip because the town where I live **(San Rafael de El Mojan - Zulia)** is about 1 hour from **Maracaibo**, I travel, I arrive at the agency and the first thing I do when they deliver the package is to shake it subtly, the only thing I wanted was to know that they were there, to listen to their sound , I spent the trip back to my village shaking the box, the people who came on the bus looked at me strangely, they had an idea why they did it, I came to my town, and the first thing I did was to go to a friend's house **(Guitarist of the group Mohán Ensamble)** since it was about steps from where I got off, when I entered his house I went quickly to a table, I asked for scissors, and quickly opened the package were very well protected, I removed the wrap, and there they were in my hands, what a beautiful instrument, and So spectacular sound From there I saved them again to go to my house, I spent all day trying to touch them, looking for videos, information about the Maracas, you can imagine how exciting it was for me. --- https://s6.postimg.org/50wb6uwyp/7258e36da5140c65beb7b423a806ddae.0.jpg **Photography by:** Luthier Carlos Daniel Perez) This photograph was sent to me the first time I asked about them, a week after sending them to be built. --- https://s6.postimg.org/rpli6f6mp/781dbd1e6d6b1cf7c4639a31012c0ac5.0.jpg **Photography by:** Luthier Carlos Daniel Perez) This photograph was posted on his Facebook account after finishing its construction. --- Soon upload videos where I will be touching them, for the moment I work hard to learn the techniques. I leave here the social networks of the Luthier Carlos Daniel Perez so that they observe his work, he also does work for other Countries.
