Bull-roarer

Non-PRO English to Spanish Social Sciences Anthropology
El arte de las cavernas sugiere ritos con contenidos ceremoniales. Estos ritos probablemente eran acompañados con música dada la buena acústica del lugar y por el hecho de haber encontrado en los sitios palillos de tambores, flautas y bull-roares como es el caaso de la cueva de Lascaux.

research online Thanks lorenab23, I will follow your suggestion as this has to be international spanish.
Keep you posted.

In my humble opinion Bramadera is the most common name, if you do a little research online you will see that it gets way more hits than any other of the names mentioned

lorenab23 ¿Usarías la expresión sencilla "zumbadora"?
