Small reed caxixi for berimbau
Every capoeirista knows this little instrument which belongs in every basic capoeira equipment set: a classical reed caxixi. The bottom part is a piece of sanded gourd cut into shape, the filling is made of seeds. A pretty, authentic and handmade instrument! Reed caxixis have a clear, sharp and defined sound which brings out nicely the contrast between the gourd piece and the basketwork. It's also a handy size for rhythm training in groups, as an effect in your band or in the studio!
"Mestre Negao"
Mestre Negão from São Paulo
Eduardo Rodrigues, well known in the Capoeira scene as Mestre Negão from São Paulo, has become one of the very important characters in Capoeira, mainly through his Capoeira event ‚Vadeia Samba’, but also with his high-grade artisanal instruments and his very kind personality. He constantly tries to connect capoeiristas from differnet styles and groups. He has his workshop in São Paulo - no more than a single room in a small house, this is where he makes his instruments.
His atabaques are of exstremely good quality and his artisanal skills create demanding and beautiful instruments with traditional rope tuning systems.
exactly what I wanted! something non-generic, handmade with a good sound. It s filled with red seeds you only see when you look closely, the sound is sharp and precise.
