Cajón
Sound of the World
The Cajón, a vibrant percussion instrument from Peru, embodies rhythm in its simplest form—a wooden box. Its roots trace back to enslaved African musicians repurposing shipping crates, creating a unique sound that resonates with Afro-Peruvian culture. Played by slapping its sides, this dynamic instrument exudes raw energy and cultural fusion.
