In several parts of the world (notably in West Africa) pairs or trios of clapperless bells are joined in such a way that they can be struck separately or clashed together. The Brazilian name for these is "agogo" bells. Cylindrical wood blocks played in the same way are also called "Agogô". In Cuban music the cowbell is called "cencerro" and often played by the same player as the bongos. In Caribbean music two or three are often mounted together with a pair of timbales.
