很漂亮的 Cajon 鼓，大家不妨看看： 剪貼一段介紹： History of the cajón The cajón is believed to have originated in Peru. Africans displaced from their homeland substituted cod shipping crates for their native drums. In Cuba, small dresser drawers were used for the same purpose. The instrument was refined and became an important part of Cuban and Peruvian music.Three quarter inch pine or other white wood was generally used for five sides of the box. A thin sheet of plywood was nailed on as the sixth side and acted as the head or striking surface. The top edges were often left unattached and could be slapped against the box. A sound hole was cut in the side opposing the head. The player sat on the box striking the head between his legs. Today, the cajón is heard extensively in Andean, Cuban, and Flamenco music. It's steadily gaining popularity in all types of contemporary music and has become a favorite for "unplugged" sessions. 網站在這裡： http://www.tonecajon.com/
喔喔，還有這個真是可愛... Marimbula The Marimbula (mah-REAM-boo-lah) or Bass Kalimba is related to the cajón in origin as well as construction. In Cuba, the instrument provided the bass line in a style of music called son (rhymes with tone). Wil-Dog of Ozmatli used one on "Canto", the new release from Los Super Seven as well as for the Price of Glory sound track. I built Ben Harper one with a spruce back that serves as a double cajón. They can be amplified quite effectively with piezos. 吃飽飯來段音樂....
Marimbula跟marimba有相關嗎？從字面上來看的話。 marimba是木琴，Kalimba(我不知如何翻成中文)是聲音更縕點的。 不過從上述來看，它有點像鋼鼓了，不同的位置有不同的音高，是嗎？沒看過，一頭霧水，好吧，考慮要不要去古巴看看-_-.....
昨天跟今早東風衛視有Madonna的演唱會，結合影像、音樂、藝術，舞蹈、聲，光，色俱佳，內容有很多異國風，影像中呈現片段印度及中東宗教信仰，在舞台上也有日本武術風，末段有阿根廷探戈跟西班 佛朗明哥舞蹈，這時有舞者solo舞蹈及搭配改編成佛朗明哥style的音樂，有幾位percussion手，其中就有人打Cajon 鼓，他坐在上面打，原來聲音就是那樣，好像也是打它的中間body，跟鼓邊，中間共鳴度高，搭配鼓邊清脆的聲音，真好聽......尤其整場像個多媒體藝術所呈現的party，搭配很多Ｍ近來結合電音的作品 A簡直是屌斃了，不得不說，電音跟現代藝術簡直就是絕配-_-.....
原來這玩意兒叫做Cajon鼓啊,上次在某樂器行看過. 老闆一直慫恿我買一個回家玩.他說這樂器有三種音色, 記得好像是正面中心當大鼓,側邊當tom,角落當小鼓的樣子? 不過jeff兄貼的這張木紋漂亮多了.有閒錢買回家當 裝飾品都漂亮. 另外推薦一張Bela Fleck & The Flecktones的"Live At The Quick "DVD.台灣有代理盤. 音樂相當有趣,融合多種樂風,表演也很精采. 讓我印象最深刻的是一種碗型鋼鼓,聲音有點像鐵琴+水滴聲,挺難形容的美妙.裡頭也有用到這個Cajon鼓. 最好玩的是鼓手玩的是自己裝的電子midi鼓, 根據cd裡面的解說,他自己稱這項樂器為Drummitar. 現在已經有人生產了.叫ZENDRUM,聲音挺像真鼓. http://www.zendrum.com/
