The yerbomatófono,^[1] also known as yerbomatófono d'amore, is an informal musical instrument traditional to Argentina and Uruguay.

Origin

[edit]

Its origin presumably dates back to the aboriginal cultures of the Río de la Plata and was historically called galleta by the gauchos of that area.^{[citation needed]}

Popularization by Les Luthiers

[edit]

The instrument was recreated in the 1960s by the Buenos Aires luthier Carlos Iraldi [es] (28 January 1930 – 16 December 1995) for the informal humorist association Les Luthiers. The instruments is essentially a kazoo made up of halved maté gourds whose sound is amplified and distorted by the hollow shell.^{[citation needed]}
