Zizipan – Traditional Rara Tambourine

Bring joyful rhythm into your home with the Zizipan, a traditional-style tambourine inspired by the vibrant sounds of Haitian street celebrations and festive gatherings.
 
Each Zizipan is 6 inches wide, crafted with a round wooden base and natural goat skin top, featuring a small side hole for authentic Haitian play technique. Individually handcrafted and hand-painted, no two instruments are alike — each carries the unique touch of the artisan who made it. Goat skin is sensitive, and should ONLY be played with your hands.
 
Available in Signature Colors:
🔴 Rara Red
🔵 Cool Blue
🟡 Mellow Yellow
🌱 Plain / Natural Wood (unpainted)
🎨 + Annual Limited Edition Seasonal Color
Because they are artist-made, slight variations in paint, skin texture, and form are expected and part of each instrument’s story.
Perfect Pairing:
 
Pair your Zizipan with our Sounds of Haiti – Rara Bundle to introduce your child to the full soundscape, story, and cultural joy of Rara music.
 
For music corners, classrooms, cultural storytelling, family jam sessions — or just pure, everyday joy.
 
Play. Dance. Celebrate Haitian rhythm.
