Description

This program is designed to introduce participants to the rhythmical magic of the cajón (box drum) as well as to the fascinating history and culture it carries within. Participants will learn basic techniques to play the most popular rhythms of Afro-Peruvian music. Depending on the length of the program, other percussion instruments like the quijada (jawbone) and the cajita (little collection box) will also be added to the percussion ensemble. Participants will become aware of how the cajon is also found in other countries with traditions connected to the African Diaspora like Cuba, Puerto Rico and even the United States. No musical background is necessary to be able to participate in this program.
