We made sure to cover a massive range of different playing surfaces on all instruments. We have also sampled both types of instruments close and dry, using hands, fingers, mallets, sticks, and brushes.
We recorded the drums as ensembles, divisi, and individual solo instruments, allowing you to build your own custom ensemble size. We decided to explore both instruments extensively by sampling two sets of professional Cajons (snare and non-snare) and three sets of professional Bongos (small, medium, and large).
The Cajon was introduced by the flamenco master, Paco De Lucia, during the 1970s and is now a standard instrument in Spanish guitar music. The modern adaptation of the Cajon is often found in Spanish flamenco music however, this is relatively new. The Bongo was also brought from Africa to Cuba by slaves, and both are often featured in salsa, rumba, changui, and other traditional styles.
The Cajon is a highly featured instrument in Cuban music, which also traditionally contains the Bongo. A wooden box with a sheet of wood nailed on as the sixth side acting as the striking surface, the Cajon Drum originated from Slaves of West and Central African origin. The history behind The Cajon and Bongo is one of darkness and despair.
