Key Features of This Shekere:

Vibrant Color Palette: The beaded net features a striking, modern combination of hot pink, bright blue, and crisp white plastic beads, making it a beautiful display piece as well as a musical instrument.

Versatile Percussion: The shekere can be shaken, twisted, or slapped against the hand to create a wide variety of rhythmic patterns. It is a staple in African, Latin, and World Music genres.
