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 Cologne

Cologne, once home to the Popkomm pop show and the German rock center from BAP to Klaus Lage is now less active in the music industry. Many independent artists, such as Peter Leach, Kelly, or Erdobble, appreciate this far-fetched position for its freedom. The father of pop music in Cologne are members of the international rock band Can. The genre of rock in music, which originated in the early 1970s, is now world-renowned. In addition, the city is very popular due to various music carnivals.
