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 Hamburg

From classical and electronic festivals to music history, and from live concerts to club music culture, there is much to discover in Hamburg music. The first European public opera house opened in Hamburg in 1678, and great classical musicians such as Brahms and Teleman lived in the city. The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Concert Hall, a unique cultural landmark, is built in Hamburg's urban boundaries. Hamburg is the gateway to the world of music: It was in the St. Pauli area in the 1960s that the Beatles established their global professional foundations. Numerous music festivals in and around Hamburg, unique venues, and collections of sounds create a unique music experience. Hamburg breathes music, and this can be felt in the city's numerous clubs around Ripperbane, in musicals, in concert halls, as well as in the city's outdoor events.
