Structural features of Cajon

The Cajon or box instrument is a percussion instrument from Peru that dates back to the 1800s. One of the first notable points about the structure of this instrument is that you have to sit on it to play! And its beautiful sound is created by tapping on the front panel (or tapa plate) and the side plates of the instrument. This instrument is actually a rectangular box made of wood. While the side and back and front plates of the box can be 0.5 to 0.75 inches thick, the top board on which the musician sits is made of plywood. There is a hole in the back of the instrument (or sometimes in the left and right walls of the instrument) where the sound exits. In some types of Cajon, the instrument is tuned by loosening and tightening the tension of the strings. This instrument is used in flamenco and jazz style. Some of the most important Cajon players in the world are Mario Cortes, Mike Meadows, Nina Rodriguez, and Stephen Moss.

Music in Boston

The city of Boston is a large part of the current music scene in the US state of Massachusetts, which includes several genres of rock as well as classical, folk, and hip hop music. Perhaps the most influential early US composer is Lowell Mason. Mason was a native of Boston who fought against the use of punctuation and note teaching in a standard way at the time. Mason led American music to its modern European model. In addition to Mason, musicians such as Arzmwit, James Taylor, Donna Summer, the Deckers, J. Gill / Peter Wolf, John Baines, the New Edition, etc. also belong to Boston. The Blues House, Symphony Hall, Governor, Paradise Rock Club, Passim Club, Brighton Music Hall, Sinclair, etc. are some of the most famous music halls in Boston. Boston Calling Festivals, Summer Camp Aid, Cambridge Dance Party, Green River, etc. are the most important Boston Music Festivals.
