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 education in Bristol

Bristol's main music scene was influenced by many Caribbean immigrants who made Bristol their home and punk music. The city of Bristol began to form a culture of sound systems in the late 1970s with the regular seizure of music equipment by the police. But today, like some of the most important cities in England, it has had a huge impact on the music of this country. Monsieur Attack, Robert Del Naja, Portis Head, Pop Group, Exempla, and Edge Culture are some of the music stars of this city. Major music festivals in Bristol include the Ashton Kurt Festival, the Bristol Rhythm, and Root Festival, and the Don Festival.
