Agogo

Agogo is an instrument that has a very long history, being disseminated across Africa and the African Diaspora. Used commonly in Capoeira, Samba de Roda, Candomblé (where it is called Gan sometimes), and other Brazilian Cultural Manifestations, the Agogo is a must of the Brazilian Percussive ensemble.

The Agogo made of Brazil nut shells has mellow tones and can be played comfortably with any wooden sticks.
