Chakapa is a Quechua word for a shaker or rattle constructed of bundled leaves.
 
Curanderos and other shaman of the Shipibo-Conibo people in the Peruvian Amazon use the chakapa in healing ceremonies. In an ayahuasca ceremony, for example, a curandero may shake the chakapa around the patient while singing an icaro (healing song). The sound of the chakapa is said to comfort patients in an ayahuasca ceremony and "cleanse" the energy surrounding the patient.
 
Shamans have a large variety of chakapa movements that create different sounds and energy waves; these movements match the coinciding icaro and healing that is being done at the time.
