Suar Wood Percussion Shaker - Forest Kasaka
Two smooth wooden spheres linked by a short, flexible cord settle gently in the hand. This is the Kasaka (also called Kashaka) — an instrument of joy and rhythm with roots in West African traditions, now at home in studios, circles, and stages across modern music.
Played in a flow of movement, it sings in two voices: the soft shake of one sphere and the bright “clack” when they meet. Hold one ball, swing the other, let momentum speak. Combine shakes and clacks, shift angles, and a lattice of layered rhythms appears — playful, syncopated, and quietly meditative.
Traditionally made from small gourds joined by string, this version brings a minimalist wooden feel: polished, reddish-brown suar wood with visible grain and subtle seam lines, a dark braided cord with light flecks, neatly knotted at each end. Available in nature-inspired finishes — Forest, Ocean, and Beach — each tuned to a calm, elemental mood.
- 🌍 West African lineage: A handheld shaker–clacker used in communal music and contemporary performance.
- 🪘 Dual-sphere design: Shake for warmth, clack for clarity, and weave them into living polyrhythms.
- 🌿 Nature palettes: Forest, Ocean, and Beach finishes highlight the wood’s grain and simple, tactile form.
A companion for practice and play, it’s both musical instrument and mindful object — inviting creativity, coordination, and a deeper connection to rhythm. 🎶
