Large reed caxixi
Classical reed caxixi with carved and sanded gourd piece as a bottom part and plant seeds filling. A pretty, authentic and handmade instrument! Reed caxixis have a clear, sharp and defined sound with a nice contrast between both sound qualities - the floor piece and the basketwork. Suitable for rhythm training in groups, as an effect in your band or in the studio!
"Marcos China RIO"
Marcos, nicknamed 'China', lives in Rio. He is a capoeirista, musician and an instrument maker. Marcos used to live in France for many years and was very successful with his Band 'Tupi Nago'.
Back in Rio he started to make Caxixis because he wasn´t able to find any in the quality he wanted. Bit by bit he added other small percussion instruments to his range.
He makes small series of instruments with extraordinary artisanal skills and love to small details. MARCOS CHINA keeps on inventing funny little instruments like the caixa de mesa, the saculegé or a minishaker made of plastic parts of PET bottles.
MARCOS CHINA berimbaus are highly appreciated amongst capoeiristas as well as percussionists.
Son parfait , très bonne facture
