3 Large African Shekere Gourd Rattles And 1 Mexican Maraca

The African Shekere is a traditional percussion instrument originating from West Africa, known for its vibrant sound and intricate craftsmanship. Made from a large dried gourd, the Shekere is adorned with a net of beads or seeds tightly woven around its exterior. As the Shekere is played, the beads or seeds within the netting create a rich, resonant sound with each movement. The player holds the Shekere by its neck or handle, allowing the gourd to dangle freely, while manipulating it with swift, rhythmic motions. By shaking, twisting, or striking the Shekere against the palm of the hand, the performer produces a diverse range of tones and textures, from soft shimmers to sharp accents, adding depth and dynamics to the music.
Dimensions: large 15" H, medium 12" H, small 10.5" H and maraca is 8" H
