Frequently Asked Questions

How do I play the Kengoma Kashaka Shaker?

To play the Kengoma Kashaka Shaker, hold the rope between your middle and ring fingers, with one ball resting in your hand and the other dangling. Shake gently in a 4-beat rhythm, allowing the balls to clack together. As you get comfortable, experiment with variations, such as shaking on specific beats or speeding up the rhythm.

For more advanced techniques, incorporate wrist movements and alternate between open, closed movements, and shakes to create dynamic sounds. Our eBook, The Complete Kashaka Player, is a step-by-step guide that covers everything from basic rhythms to advanced techniques, helping you learn the Kashaka Shaker quickly and efficiently.

How many will I receive?

You will receive one Kengoma Kashaka Shaker, which includes two balls. If you'd like to play with both hands, simply adjust the quantity to two pieces at checkout.

What colours are available?

The Kengoma Kashaka Shaker is available in three colour options: green, brown, and orange. These instruments are hard to get hold of, and due to their limited availability, colour options are restricted.

Can the size of the Kengoma Kashaka be adjusted?

The Kengoma Kashaka Shaker has a fixed rope length. It is designed to fit comfortably for most hand sizes. If you require a different fit or have smaller or larger hands, consider adjusting the rope yourself by repositioning the ball and tying a new knot.
