A rabeca is a type of musical instrument that looks like a small violin with only two strings. It is popular in traditional Brazilian music and is usually made from a carved wooden box and horsehair strings.
To play the rabeca, you use a bow (a long stick with horsehair on it) to stroke the strings while pressing them down with your fingers to create different notes. It can sound a bit like a violin, but with a different tone and sound.
Some people might use the rabeca to play music for dancing or singing, while others might use it to create the background music for a play or show. It's a really unique and interesting instrument that can really add character to any musical performance.
