More Details
The cajon (pronounced kah-hon) is a percussion instrument originating from Peru.
Its name, meaning ‘box’ or ‘drawer’ in Spanish, describes its simple, box-like structure.
Typically crafted from wood, the cajon has six sides and an opening at the back for sound projection.
Players sit on the cajon and strike its front surface with their hands or fingers.
By adjusting striking positions, musicians create varied sounds: deep bass tones from the center and sharper, snare-like notes from edges or corners.
Thanks to its versatility, the cajon is popular across various genres, including flamenco, Latin rhythms, and acoustic music.
The cajon’s portability and diverse sounds make it a favourite among both professional percussionists and casual players, popular for live performances, studio recordings, and jam sessions.
