"A high-quality instrument with beautiful tones that’s a pleasure to play."

Start composing African-inspired grooves with a unique instrument: the Afuche cabasa!

Treat yourself to an Afuche cabasa, an excellent percussion instrument

Straight from the African continent, the Afuche cabasa is an instrument that was modified and improved in the late 1960s to make it sturdier and more durable than its predecessor, the shekere. With its rattlesnake-like sound, it offers several playing techniques for creating a wide range of rhythms—pure fun for any percussionist who owns one. This cabasa model, made entirely of solid wood and steel, stands out with gold-tone beads instead of the usual silver ones. Beyond that visual touch, you can choose the diameter you prefer, from 6.5 cm to 13 cm. Just know that the larger the instrument, the more powerful and resonant the tone will be, with a deeper pitch. Make your choice now and add your selected cabasa to your basket for an exceptional sound journey.

Technical characteristics of the Afuche cabasa instrument

  • Instrument family: percussion – idiophone
  • Head diameter: 6.5, 8.5, 11.5, or 13 cm
