Latin Percussion instruments have a reputation for quality and authentic tone that resonates with drummers everywhere. Forty years ago, LP introduced the Afuche/Cabasa, which has become one of the most popular percussion instruments in the world. It features loops of steel beads wrapped around a textured cylinder, and it’s played by twisting, turning, and shaking the instrument to produce a variety of ratcheting, scratching, and scraping sounds that cut through the mix with appealing, rhythmic accents. The Latin Percussion Mini Afuche/Cabasa is conveniently sized and has a lightweight plastic frame and handle that make rapid tempos a cinch and long gigs a pleasure.
