Twi ba

The twi ba is a percussion instrument, popular within the Caribbean. It is usually used in the folk music of Guadeloupe. The twi ba is a type of idiophone, which is an instrument that makes sound based on the vibrations caused by making contact with the instrument.[1][2]

The twi ba is used often in ensemble forms. Chouval bwa, biguine, and zouk are all Martinican styles that have been influenced by the use of the twi ba.[citation needed]
