Guiro!
You can see how the 3 count consists of a half of a down stroke and a full up stroke.
Different examples of Guiro and it's uses in different patterns and styles.
If you listen to the 'cha-cha-cha' example, you can here where the name comes from, as it actually sounds like that's what the Guiro is 'saying.'

I really enjoy these videos, because the guira is present in all aspects of Latin American songs. I think it's comical that while the guira is prevalent in both Cuban and Dominican music, they have different yet similar names for it. It also makes me wonder if the styles are slightly different.
