Handcrafted from a dried, hollowed-out gourd wrapped in a hand-woven lattice of vibrant beads, this iconic percussion instrument delivers a crisp, resonant snap that punches right through the mix.
Deeply rooted in West African and Latin American folkloric traditions and widely heard in modern Afrobeat, salsa, and world fusion. The Shekere offers incredible rhythmic versatility. Pull it or shake it to blend sharp metallic-like chitters to create a pulse or rhythm.
