Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Traditionally associated with capoeira, the caxixi is a small Afro-Brazilian shaker, often played with the berimbau to reinforce the tempo and emphasize accents. This Roots Percussions model fits within the spirit of world instruments, with particular care given to materials and sound consistency.
Who This Drum/Caxixi Is For
This caxixi is suitable for capoeiristas as well as percussionists, from beginner to intermediate, who are looking for a simple, expressive, and reliable instrument. It is especially suited for capoeira contexts (angola, regional) but also finds its place in world music, light batucada, and percussive textures in the studio.
Features and Innovations
Its wicker construction offers good lightness and a natural grip, while the coconut wood base provides attack and better clarity of accents. The seeds ensure a clear output, allowing easy variation of intensity according to the amplitude of the gesture.
The Sound
The wicker weaving promotes a lively and controlled response, with a natural breath and little aggressiveness. The coconut wood base stiffens the whole and enhances the attack, highlighting a high-pitched and articulated tone, ideal for cutting through the rhythm and remaining audible within an ensemble.
