Tantara
A tantara is a blast of a trumpet or horn.
At the battle of Jericho, a tantara was the signal for the Israelites to shout. This shout led to the fortified walls of Jericho crumbling and the Israelites claiming their first victory in the conquest of the Promised Land. (Joshua 6)
So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. (Joshua 6:20, NASB)
