Cajon la Peru CP 4005

CP 4005 Cajon la Peru drum area beech wood, 50x30x30cm, sound: full bass, strong crash-tones

This instrument is based on the Peruvian Cajon. Its special construction and its elaborate insides ensure an unmistakable bass and snare sound that reminds you of the sound of a drum.

The snare strings can be tuned with the tension device, which is in the base of the Cajon. Cajones are hand drums with a beat area made from wood. Originally, they came from Latin America and were used by the slaves as a substitute for their traditional drums, which had been prohibited by the whites.
"Rumba de Cajon" derives from this time, in which the bass is played on a fish crate, the second key on a tobacco crate and the solo with teaspoons on a cigar box. This way of playing is still a main part of Cuban music.
As the slaves were freed at the end of the last century, the idea to use a simple wooden box instead of a drum spread very quickly through Latin America, Africa and Europe.
In the middle of the seventies, Paco de Lucia (one of the most influential Flamenco guitarists) started to update the traditional flamenco music. He introduced the Cajon as the central rhythm instrument.
The product lines of the drum instrument - Cajon combines its own construction ideas with the traditional structure from Peru and Cuba.
Cajon la Peru
The Cajon la Peru, also known as the Rumba box, is universally applicable: in the traditional Latin-American music, in modern flamenco and also as an addition to the drum in pop music.
