Ghanian Beaded Shekere Gourd Shaker – Small

Description

This Ghanaian Beaded Shekere Gourd Shaker is a traditional African instrument made from a dried gourd with a beaded netting. The shekere produces a unique, rhythmic sound when shaken, making it a great choice for various musical styles. Originating from Africa, the shekere was brought to Cuba by African slaves, where it became a significant part of the local jazz tradition.

This instrument is perfect for adding distinctive sounds to musical performances, drum circles, or personal practice sessions. The gourd will come with a hole near the top as it needs to be hollowed when made.
