The caxixi shakers are beautifully crafted from colourful dried grass, intricately woven into a calabash base and filled with small stones. These shakers are used throughout Ghana, locally known as ‘Torowa’ in Tw and ‘Akaye’ in Ewe. 
 
Unlike factory-made versions, these genuine fair-trade instruments are handmade in Ghana by professional musicians, designed to be played and loved.
 
Every instrument is handcrafted by skilled musicians we've partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.
The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.
 
If you're looking for an authentic instrument with heart, heritage, and a beautiful sound, this is it.
