Cabasa

A Cabasa is a percussion instrument that consists of a hollow, gourd-shaped body covered with a loop of metal beads or chains. The player holds the handle and shakes the instrument back and forth, causing the beads to strike the surface and create a rattling sound. The Cabasa is often used in Latin, jazz, and world music genres to add texture and rhythm to performances. It is a versatile instrument that can produce a variety of tones depending on the speed and force of the player's movements. The Cabasa is a popular choice for percussionists looking to add a unique sound to their music.
