New Plastic Kashakas!

  • Plastic Kashakas are adjustable, which makes them a lot easier to learn how to play and share with your friends.
  • New varieties of smaller plastic Kashakas now available, which are ideal for women with petit hands, and for children and youth.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Plastic Kashakas are now sold in pairs, so you always have a set for each hand. It also makes it easier to teach others how to play!
  • Which Kashakas are best? The plastic version are more durable, and adjustable, but I personally like the sounds created by playing a gourd Kashaka with a plastic Kashaka. The clicks and shake sounds are distinct from each other, which makes the rhythms you can play with 2 hands more interesting-sounding, as the rhythms oscillate more. I also encourage people to purchase gourd Kashakas, as they are helping to support African artisans and their families.
