The Chapayeca flute is an aerophone musical instrument, made with reed, consisting of only one section. The mouthpiece of the beak forms the air duct in the form of a small hole, the flute tube houses two holes in the upper part without any perforation in its lower part. The sound of this flute is complementary to the drum used by the chapayeka tampaleo, and represents the cry of Mary; while the sound of the drum represents the sound produced by the mallet nailing Christ to the cross.
