Ghanian Beaded Shekere Gourd Shaker- small

The 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.

Features:

  • Hand-made in Ghana from hollowed gourds and beads.
  • Beads inside and outside the gourd produce a maraca-like rattle with added depth.
  • Perfect for musicians, bands, and as a fun, interactive toy for children 

Materials:

  • Hollowed gourd, beads, and netting
