Cas cas are a fantastic Ghanaian percussion instrument, consisting of two seed pods connected by a string. Commonly played in pairs, they are traditionally played by the Ga tribe in southern Ghana. One pod is held while the other is swung around your hand, creating a unique rhythm as the pods strike against each other.
This captivating instrument is simple but addictive to play, so watch out! Check out videos like this on YouTube for cas cas shaker demonstrations.

Excellent, arrived 7 days earlier than expected so in time for Christmas. They are simple but beautiful and I love the bag they came in. Bought two lots so we have four, I understand they don’t last forever. Very addictive and lots of fun.
