Ghanaian Caxixi Rattle
The Classic Seed Caxixi is hand woven in Ghana using brightly colored reeds, a hard gourd base, with pebbles and seeds for shaker filler. When shaken and rotated the caxixi makes a mixture of soft and sharp percussive sounds. They are always played in pairs with baskets facing downwards using alternating hand motions.
