The Banda Bros. have been hand crafting the finest professional shekeres available anywhere. Many years of research and experiment has gone into each one. They hand pick each and every gourd, spending countless hours going through hundreds to pick the right shapes and weight. Because gourds are a natural organic material, each one is unique and will vary in size, shape and sound. They have worked closely with many of the top players in the world of Pop, Jazz & Latin music as well as world renown Afro-Cuban master percussionists, getting first hand insights as to the right balance between the gourd and intricately woven bead netting. The goal is to have the shekere respond to the musical ideas being created by the player.
