Description : While the site was being updated I started to learn to play the cajon drum. Here is an explanation of this groovy box drum.
The cajn is the most widely used Afro-Peruvian musical instrument since the late 18th century.
Slaves of west and central African origin in the Americas, specifically Peru, are considered to be the source of the cajn drum; though the instrument is common in musical performance throughout the Americas.
The cajn was most likely developed in coastal Peru during the early 19th century or before,[1] where it is associated with several Afro-Peruvian genres. The instrument reached a peak in popularity by 1850, and by the end of the 19th century cajn players were experimenting with the design of the instrument by bending some of the planks in the cajn's body to alter the instrument's patterns of sound vibration.

Description : I was given the opportunity to sit in and record two hours of 30+ Neo Hippie folk beating African drums up on Quadra Island. The farthest Northern Gulf Island in the Georgia Straight just outside of Campbell River, British Columbia. I had a blast and was even given the opportunity to join in and play a spare djembe B-)
When I say "Hippie" I mean no disrespect. I grew up a hippie kid from way back. My Dad was one of the original long haired, mega-bearded dudes from the late 50's/early 60's. In grade school the kids called me "Hippie Howard" which I loathed at the time but now I'm thinking it's a pretty cool handle :) "DJ Hippie Howard" lol
