Caxixi

Caxixi is an African-originated shaker that has become one of the most important shakers in Brazil, alongside the Xequerê.

Made of natural fiber weaves, filled with seed and closed at the bottom with a slice of gourd, the Caxixi often accompanies the Berimbau, as well as other percussive instruments such as the Atabaque, Pandeiro, and Agogo, being an extremely versatile instrument.
