It is not a cajon but a "gomé" drum what he is beating is a natural thick skin. And yes this group is groovy, sweet ghanean style !

Oh my gosh..this is so beautiful and amazing

[@edwardlink4053]

Looking up examples of African polyrhythmic drumming in the development of jazz. Compulsive. Love the way the way the rhythms are layered over the underlying heart beat pulse.

awesome!!! that cajon player is laying down some hardcore beats!!! and that cajon might be the best one ever made ...

[@ghana11233]

Not Cajon, It's the original Ghana sit on drum called GOME. The Cajon was a "corrupt" copy made in South America to connect to the African roots. Prototype of this drum is found in Jamaica and Sierra Leone.

@@ghana11233 peace to you..I disagree that the cajon is a "corrupt" copy..more like a drum born out of circumstance that had more to do with what was available more than trying to copy an earlier traditional type drum

[@ghana11233]

YES! Go Ghana.

I take issue with this being connected to jazz. Yes, has more recently been that way, but folk's impression of jazz now includes virtually every music. But jazz at its inception in the early 20th century never used these rhythmic patterns. Plus jazz used to be considered an ad lib art. This music has no harmonic interplay, no traditional song structure (verse, chorus, patter), and no melody or harmony instruments - at best, they chant repeatedly. They also bear no resemblance to later swing era jazz and even later Dixieland and even more modern jazz of the 1940s,1950s, and 1960s.
