Product Description

We are very excited about the idea of making both shekere and drum and this shekere drum came out. We put drum film under the gourd, which made the bass sound very strong. It's now your time make great music in creative hands. Please let me know if you want me to send you a voicemail. The shekere is a West African percussion instrument consisting of a dried gourd with beads or cowries woven into a net covering the gourd. The instrument is common in West African and Latin American folkloric traditions as well as some of the popular music styles. In performance it is shaken and/or hit against the hands. The shekere is made from vine gourds that grow on the ground. The shape of the gourd determines the sound of the instrument. A shekere is made by drying the gourd for several months then removing the pulp and seeds. After I scrub it I add colorful beads and colour it. It is 11 inches high and 9 inches wide. Adorned about 1000 with white and bluecolors beads. The handle I made from cotton cord prevents it from slipping out of your hand while playing. It can be easily removed if you don't want to use it. Please feel free to ask for different colors and sizes.
