Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've been collecting unusual Spanish
words for years. I've been going through them to find any that
are not in my dictionaries and found this one:  tracatera f
It's not in the DRAE, it's not in Wiktionary (though it's in the
requested entries list there), it's not in my Larousse Gran
Diccionario, and Google Translate doesn't handle it.  It is easy
to find using a plain old Google search or even a Google Books
search. It does seem to be a feminine noun and not just a
feminine version of a noun or adjective.  share|improve this

corridos" en el que se utiliza "tracatera":  Sonaba la tracatera
seis federales lloraban  aprovechó ese momento  y se subió a su
blindada  así salió de su casa  pura madre lo paraban.
