Cajon building (7/02)
  •       percussion builder specializing in the cajon (a wooden box drum originally from Peru & Cuba) and the marimbula (a Caribbean bass box similar to a large bass thumb piano). In both cases the player sits on the box to play. Afro-Cuban conga techniques translate well to the cajon. Cajons are used in Afro-Latin music, Flamenco, and also for many unplugged type sessions as simulating a drumset groove on the cajon is relatively simple to achieve.
