OUR WEBSTORE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Sorry for any inconvenience, but we'll be up and running in the late fall of 2007. Stay tuned for the best African Kashakas, straight from Ghana. Do you like hand shakers? Then you will love Caxixi, a gourd and basket shaker.

We've also got a great CD for sale, by Nii Tettey Tetteh, an amazing musican, percussionist and teacher from Ghana. Nokoko, his second full- length album, is full of great songs and rhythms, including Kashaka and Caxixi rhythms. Click here if you'd like to listen to some free sample clips from the album.

Want some more help learning how to play Kashaka? Our instructional DVD, also starring Nii Tettey Tetteh, is now available, and will soon be available for download as well.
