Because of it´s lively sound, the Caxixi was originally used to call forth the presence of the enchanted spirits and also to scare all evil away. Caxixi is a reed basket, woven by hand, with a hard gourd skin bottom filled with special seeds. Shaken, the seeds hit the hard gourd skin, producing a distinctive sound. Caxixi can be used as a rattle to drive the beat and also in pairs to produce intricate sounds and rare textures. Each Caxixi is a unique instrument, made entirely of natural, non-endangered materials, that produce organic sounds which add color and good spirits to your set. You can play it soft or loud and enlarge the possibilities of different rhythms as far as your creativity goes. The Wild Banana Tree Seeds... straight from our plantation in Brazil, these quality seeds are the secret of the unique sharp sounds in all models of Cabello's Caxixis   The berimbau It is a wooden musical bow, at it’s widest end a looped metal wire (arame) is attached to a peg notched in the wood and strung to the top. A hollowed gourd (cabaça) is attached as a percussive box to amplify the sound of the instrument. It is held in the left hand along with a brass coin (dobrao), which produces one of two notes, depending on whether it is touching the arame. The sound is produced when the wire is struck by a wooden stick (baqueta), which is held in the left hand along with a shaker (caxixi). Berimbau’s are available in three cabaça sizes Gunga / large :: Medio / medium :: Viola / small Each berimbau is shipped with arame, caxixi and baqueta. Ps. berimbau price does not include dobrao.
