The Castanets Thread

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 :slight_smile:

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

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.

Sadly it was pressed far too quietly. A shame.

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

Muchos castanets here in a Balearic disco cover banger ( & a very good sample source for this years best record)
