Cajons in the Neighbourhood
Connecting cultures through the power of music!
Come join us along with tutor Jose Rojas where we make and learn to play our very own cajons!
Cajons in the Neighbourhood is a craft and play programme Creative Spark offers in partnership with El Taller Percussion.
During our sessions we learn about the history of the cajon; where it comes from and why it was invented. We then get to work making our very own cajon and once it's finished, we learn how to play it!
