Afuche Cabasa History

The early shekere was made of gourds or coconuts and originated from Africa. The calabash gourd is used for a variety of instruments that are similar in sound to the cabasa. The Afuche Cabasa was created by LP to make a more durable product.

If you take a look at an African Shekere you will understand how the instrument evolved into what we now call the cabasa.
