The generic name for shaker in Portuguese. There are various types of shaken idiophones using this name, but the most relevant is a kind of jingle stick used in samba music.

The chocalho is typically used as a support to the sound of the caixa, to sustain the rhythm in the bateria. It consists of an aluminium or wooden frame with a number of rows, each carrying pairs of jingles (platinelas]). It is played by shaking it back and forth and pumping the arms up and down.
