Cajon Basics lesson

2 Comments 10 April 2010

The cajon is a popular instrument in flamenco and cuban music. It´s made completely of wood, sometimes with a string in the inside to create a snare sound. In pop music it´s often used to emulate a drumset.

the cajon video is part of David’s instructional DVD for the Cajon.
