The shekere is a beaded gourd instrument found in many African, Caribbean and Latin American cultures. It is a hand-held instrument traditionally played to call in spirits from far away. Reknown for the crisp clear sound created by the resonant gourd and its' skirt of beads, the Shekere compliments the orchestra like no other instrument.
Afia Walking Tree has spent many years researching which types of gourds, beads and cord work best for durable, playable, performance-quality gourds and shekeres. As a result, Spirit Drumz provides carefully selected materials that will result in a fine instrument that you will enjoy for years!
