Kashaka (Aslatua, Asalato, Cas Cas) – African percussion instrument

Kashaka is a traditional West African shaker consisting of two hand-painted wooden (or gourd) balls filled with seeds or stones, connected by a durable cord. By shaking, tossing, and catching them in rhythm, you create both a rattling sound and a sharp “click” as the balls strike each other. This unique combination makes Kashaka not only an instrument, but also a form of rhythmic dance in your hands.

Features:

  • Bright rhythmic shaker sound with an additional “clap” effect
  • Handmade, colorful painted design
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Develops coordination, timing, and rhythm

Purpose:

  • Suitable for children and adults
  • Perfect for drumming ensembles, sound healing sessions, rhythm training, and live performances

Skill level: easy to start, but endless possibilities for advanced techniques

Material: natural gourd or wood, cord, seeds inside

Origin: West Africa (Ghana)

Playing Kashaka is always fun — it’s both a musical and visual performance, making it a great choice for musicians, rhythm lovers, and as an unusual gift.
