Shekere

The Shekere is a traditional instrument similar to an instrument from West Africa, played by main singers and backup singers. It is made up of a dried out empty calabash covered with a net and containing beads, dried seeds or shells, that make sounds when the instrument is shook, amplified by the resonating cavity formed by the calabash.
