The gomba is a national Paraguayan dance.

It takes its name from the instrument with which it accompanies, a kind of hollow barrel-shaped trunk covered with a strong and very tight membrane that is pierced with both fists or using some cymbals. This dance dates back to the earliest times of the Guarani, the first settlers of Paraguay.
