The kabasa is a hand percussion instrument consisting of a round, ribbed metal or wooden cylinder wrapped in a chain of loose metal beads. Originating from Latin and African music traditions, it produces a distinctive rattling sound when shaken, rotated, or twisted. To play, the musician typically holds the handle and rotates the instrument back and forth, causing the beads to scrape against the cylinder, creating rhythmic textures that enrich the music. Known for its bright, slightly metallic timbre, the kabasa adds dynamic rhythm and is popular in various genres for enhancing beats, especially in jazz, funk, and world music.
