The aslatua (ah-SLAH-too-uh) is a unique hand percussion toy that will capture your attention with its tricky polyrhythm. This simple instrument (also known as aslato, kashaka, cascas, televi, kasso-kassoni, and more) is played by holding one gourd in the palm while simultaneously shaking and swinging the second gourd. The gourds come from the Swawa tree in West Africa, which are dried, hollowed, filled with pebbles, and connected with a string. You'll have hours of fun playing with this traditional African instrument, which is covered by our warranty, and features:
two small, strong Swawa gourds filled with tiny pebbles
strong connector rope, securely fastened to each gourd
multiple uses: conventional "egg" shaker; polyrhythmic percussion instrument
great gift for any percussion enthusiast

Ordered a pair, and they just came in! They're much more difficult than I'd thought they were going to be, but it's fun to learn!
