A sarronca, ronca ou zamburra é um membranofone friccionado, típico de Portugal. Este instrumento musical acompanhava tradicionalmente as cantigas de Natal alentejanas.
É constituído por um recipiente oco (pode ser uma lata, uma bilha, etc.) coberto por uma pele (pele de cabra ou borrego; em alternativa, bexiga de porco). O centro da pele é perfurado por uma vara de madeira, e o som é obtido movimentando a para de cima para baixo, de tal forma que a vara friccione a pele esticada.
Em 2020, a ronca de Elvas foi candidata ao concurso Sete Maravilhas de Portugal, chegando a finalista distrital, pelo distrito de Portalegre.

The sarronca, ronca or zamburra is a rubbed membranophone typical of Portugal. This musical instrument traditionally accompanied the Alentejo Christmas songs.
It consists of a hollow container (it can be a tin can, a jug, etc.) covered with a skin (goat or lamb skin; alternatively, a pig's bladder). The center of the skin is pierced by a wooden stick, and the sound is obtained by moving the skin from top to bottom, in such a way that the stick rubs against the stretched skin.
In 2020, the ronca de Elvas was a candidate for the Seven Wonders of Portugal competition, making it to the district finalist for the Portalegre district.
IN Spain it is called "zambombas"

Many years ago when ipernity belonged to the French, some people accused me of faking my meadow photos. So I did videos to prove it was true.
You can see them clicking on the links below, they are pleasant too.
