The Shekere is a percussion musical instrument originating from the African continent in the Yoruba region of West Africa, well known in Brazil and also in Cuban music. It is believed that the Shekere has its origins in the descendants of slaves who were brought to Cuba from West Africa to work on the sugar cane plantations as well as the slaves who arrived in Bahia, Brazil.
It can be found with a variety of names depending on the region where it is found, for example;Shekere, Chekere, Abê, Agbê, lilolo, axatse, djabara
They can come in different sizes because their body is a dry, empty gourd with a net around it, holding a series of small elements that hit the gourd, such as snails, seeds, beads, small pebbles, etc.
