Learn to play Kashaka techniques and rhythms with percussionist Jon Sterckx.
Kashaka are a fantastic instrument – they are a simple shaker but are also capable of some amazingly complex rhythms and are a lot of fun to play. Suitable for beginners & kashaka players looking to expand and develop their kashaka playing.
Learn to play Kashaka (Asalato) techniques, shakes, swings, spins, clicks and rhythmic patterns. Players who already have the basics can request more advanced patterns and techniques.
Kashaka of various sizes will be available to use in the workshop. Or bring your own.
