Tinya
The tinya (Quechua)[1] or kirki (Quechua)[1] is a percussion instrument, a small handmade drum of leather which is used in the traditional music of the Andean region, particularly Peru. The drum dates to the pre-Columbian era,[2] and is used in traditional Peruvian dances, notably in Los Danzantes de Levanto where it is played by one person simultaneously with the antara, a type of panflute; that instrument combination is similar to the worldwide tradition of the pipe and tabor.
Musician plays Pinkullo flute with one hand and drums a tinya with the other at a Huari Danza in Peru.
