The Beloved Latin Percussion Standard Afuche-Cabasa

Over the past forty years, the cabasa has grown to become one of the most important percussion instruments ever, thanks to Latin Percussion. It's commonly used in Latin Jazz, like bossa nova, for instance. The sound of the afuche-cabasa - which is what LP call their patented version - is made when the chains of metal beads come in contact with the special texture of the stainless-steel cylinder.
