The shekere is handcrafted from natural gourds and intricately woven with white beads. Each shekere is unique, with size variations reflecting the natural differences in gourd size.
Traditionally played in village celebrations and gatherings, the shekere produces a warm, resonant sound that adds depth and rhythm to any musical performance or group. Whether you're playing solo or with a group, the shekere's infectious energy will elevate your music and get everyone moving.
Unlike factory-made versions, these genuine fair-trade instruments are handmade in Ghana by professional musicians, designed to be played and loved.
- Every instrument is handcrafted by skilled musicians we've partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.
- The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.
If you're looking for an authentic instrument with heart, heritage, and a beautiful sound, this is it.
