Cacho Seed Pod Shaker

Generation after generation has utilized cacho seed pods for percussion instruments all over the Amazon. They were frequently worn in traditional and ceremonial dances by the intolerant as an anklet, bracelet, or belt buckle. Some say it sounds like a torrential downpour; the sound is loud but not strong.

These hand-crafted Andean cachos, which are essential to indigenous music, are created in Lima, Peru. They are a traditional Andean percussion instrument with a long pre-Columbian history. Cachos are linked to or wrapped around objects by being tied together with string and decorated with a hand-woven cinta, or strap. Andean cultures employ cachos, which are shaken to the beat, to maintain rhythm.
