Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2009 12:10 amHey Omelenko,, are those as light as they are big?? They look nice and light like they'd be really easy to play. I've got Shekere envy!
Re: SHOW ME YOUR SHEKERE!
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2009 1:36 amYes, they are very light and easy to play. I used to play them alot when I played with this African music group and on occasional rumbas. Don't play them much these days.

Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:18 pmCan anyone tell me what species/variety of plant produces these gourds?
Re: SHOW ME YOUR SHEKERE!
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 5:10 pmThere are a variety of gourds used, the most typical are african kettle gourds and larger bottle gourds,
other gourd varieties are also suitable.
This is the farm I go to, they have a good examples page, however the gourds have more variation in size and
shape than the few samples shown.

Re: SHOW ME YOUR SHEKERE!
Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 6:29 pmI've seen some Chekeres with the string trailing off the bottom, a la Congadelicas. This question is to those who have played ones like that: Do you find the strings get in the way of playing?
Re: SHOW ME YOUR SHEKERE!
Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 10:46 pmI have not had any problem with the string you dont even notice it . once you start to play concentration kicks .
