Cajon Real
Read full descriptionHide full description
A cajón (Spanish: ka-KHON; "box, crate, drawer") is a box-shaped percussion instrument originally from Peru, played by slapping the front or rear faces (generally thin plywood) with the hands, fingers, or sometimes implements such as brushes, mallets, or sticks. Cajóns are primarily played in Afro-Peruvian music (specifically música criolla), but have made their way into flamenco as well. The term cajón is also applied to other box drums used in Latin American music, such as the Cuban cajón de rumba and the Mexican cajón de tapeo. Sheets of 13 to 19 mm (1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch) thick wood are generally used for five sides of the box. A thinner sheet of plywood is nailed on as the sixth side, and acts as the striking surface or head. The striking surface of the cajón drum is commonly referred to as the tapa.[2] A sound hole is cut on the back side. The modern cajón may have rubber feet, and has several screws at the top for adjusting percussive timbre. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caj%C3%B3n) The Cajon Real is Cajon musical instrument simulation app. Play with 3 modes: - FreePlay: Play Cajon with Metronome. - Rhythmic: Rhythm Cajon with your audio. - Songs: Play Cajon with Piano (You can choose autoplay for listening songs).
