The Facmogu 2PCS Aslatua Authentic Rhythm African Shaker is a traditional poly-rhythmic percussion instrument originating from Africa. Also known as banakula, aslatua, Asalato, or Cas Cas, this robustly-made rhythmic percussion instrument features strong and hard plastic shells filled with iron sand to produce a distinctive, loud shaker sound.
Compared to the more expensive African kashaka made from natural gourds, these plastic kashaka offer an affordable alternative. While natural gourd kashaka can vary in shape, size, and durability, the Facmogu plastic kashaka are consistently hard-wearing, with a uniform size, sound, and weight. Additionally, the cord length on the Facmogu ABS plastic kashaka can be easily adjusted, unlike the fixed cord length on traditional gourd kashaka, which are often glued in place. Real gourd kashaka are also more fragile than the skilltoyz plastic kashaka, making the latter a great way for beginners to try this fascinating instrument.
To resize the Aslatua string to fit your hand, simply undo one knot and re-tie it to the desired length. It's important not to remove the cord from the hole through the shell, as this will cause the filling to come out. There are no firm rules about the cord length - make it whatever length best suits you, but ensure the knot remains secure by checking it periodically.
Playing with this traditional African instrument is a truly entertaining experience. The unique hand percussion instrument produces intricate compound rhythms that captivate the attention. Its resemblance to both castanets and maracas adds to its distinctive appeal. The high-quality ABS plastic shells are stable, durable, and resistant to drops and wear, while the braided climbing rope used to connect the sand-filled balls is sturdy and unlikely to break, ensuring the long-lasting usefulness and quality of the product.
The Facmogu 2PCS Aslatua Authentic Rhythm African Shaker is suitable for players of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. The iron sand-filled, hard plastic shells provide a great, loud shaker sound, and the shells themselves have an excellent percussive sound when they hit together. Whether you're using it for a KTV session, a wedding, a birthday party, a concert, music lessons, or an instrument class, this versatile piece of entertainment is sure to liven up the mood and leave your guests with lasting memories.
