The Cajon drum (prounouced cahon)is the Spanish word for "box". The idea of using a simple wooden box as a drum is believed to have orginiated in colonial Peru where Africans displaced from their homeland substituted cod shipping crates for their native drums. As a result, Afro-Peruvian music is a unique blend of Spanish, Andean, and African traditions. Today, this versatile drum is steadily gaining popularity and recognition and can be heard in many different styles of music worldwide.
