Cas cas are a fantastic Ghanaian percussion instrument, consisting of two seed pods connected by a string. Commonly played in pairs, they are traditionally played by the Ga tribe in southern Ghana. One pod is held while the other is swung around your hand, creating a unique rhythm as the pods strike against each other.
