Only ever met one person who doesn’t like the castanets. Everybody else likes castanets? I think so.
Please share your favourite tunes that feature this precious instrument!
PS: new here, hope I’m doing it right

Heard at least 2 people spinning this in the past month - a clear sign that castanets do matter.

I have one at home that I can’t remember the name of. A big summer 1990 tune. I’ll have a rummage around ce soir.

We’re massive fans of The Big Lebowski in our house, so that track is very dear to our hearts!

Beach Boys castanets banger, San Miguel!
Muchos castanets here in a Balearic disco cover banger ( & a very good sample source for this years best record)
