Backstage with my amazing friend Theo Martey of 'Akwaaba Ensemble' as he demonstrates his wizardry on the asalato. This might be my new favorite instrument. 100% all-organic, earth'n'soul-fed Ghanaian gourd music.
I’m a drummer of 20 years in the US and I’d never seen these before as of ten minutes ago. And as of 5 minutes ago I purchased a pair from a seemingly passionate and quality maker in the UK, and ai cannot wait
I discovered this same technique playing around with rope and weight attached to it. Made it bounce back and forth but never thought it was an actual historical instrument in Africa. Awesome.
Been trying to get the hang of this for a while now. The way he showed it slowly at first was exactly what I needed! I’m getting the hang of it now thanks to him 🙏
@@protoman1214 only elite musicians have proper control on their body as they play. It's quite discouraged in classical music. This instrument directly involves the body as you need to move your hands and body in order to get a sound out of them. There's a better connection to rhythm and movement. I just find it interesting, African music seems to me to be very in touch with the body.
Estou vendo esse instrumento no Brasil. Casa muito bem com nossos rítmos, impressionante! Não sei o porquê não estava por aqui há mais tempo, como outros instrumentos africanos. É lindo !!❤
That was brilliant 👏 ive been playing the dejembe drum at my mental health group Kim's and I bought my own drum also with it came these two instruments and a shaker.
😁Excellent demo. Thank you. Just purchased two of these Kashakas. I never heard of this, but this some I have to experience. Gonna tried it out. This is a very unique instruments.

Wonderful
Much respect to the player 💪🏼🙏🏻
Ghanian music is something else. The body is directly involved in the music.
Isn’t it always though? I’m confused, who makes music without direct involvement of the body?

its genius. who woulda thought that with the natural movement of the shaker you could add a string and have another sound ONE HANDED.
The combo of rhytms is amazing.
