• What is a cajon?
• Cajon means "box, drawer" in Spanish. It is a drum substitute that originated in South America in the 1800s and developed particularly in the coastal areas of Peru. In the 1970s, cajons were brought to Spain from Brazil and accepted by the flamenco world, spreading from Europe to the world. Today, due to its ease of use, it is incorporated into various genres of music.
