Kashaka Workshop with Jon Sterckx
Learn to play Kashaka techniques and rhythms with percussionist Jon Sterckx.
Kashaka are a fantastic instrument – they are a simple shaker but are also capable of some amazingly complex rhythms and are a lot of fun to play. The workshop will be suitable for beginners & for kashaka players looking to expand and develop their kashaka playing.
Learn to play Kashaka (Asalato) techniques, shakes, swings, spins, clicks and rhythmic patterns. Players who already play Kashaka will be taught more advanced techniques, patterns and exercises to improve and develop their playing further.
Kashaka of various sizes will be available to use in the workshop. Or bring your own.
Jon Sterckx is an experienced percussionist best know for his innovative Drumscapes multipercussion performances which he has performed at the globally renowned TED events, as well as performances and workshops at WOMAD, London International Arts Festival, Drumcamp, Tribe of Doris and many more of the UK’s ‘world music’ festivals.
Jon has been playing Kashaka for 10 years and has been a the forefront of increasing Kashaka popularity and availability since starting Kashaka UK in 2016. He has delivered Kashaka workshops at WOMAD, Drumcamp, Tribe of Doris, Greenbelt, Wychwood, Equinox, Reconnection amongst many other festivals and events.
