Members Camel Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 There is a review of the Meinl Cajons (pronounced Kahon apparently?) in this months UK Rhythm magazine. http://www.meinlpercussion.com/index.php?id=312 They are cool things, I saw a band with one last summer and I was impressed with the range of sounds that came out of it. I'd like a go on one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Old Steve Posted June 17, 2005 Members Share Posted June 17, 2005 ...and I believe "cajon" translates into English directly as "box". Interestingly enough "cajones", the plural version, translates into testicles. Just something to think about when somebody comes up to sit in with your band and offers to "slap your cajones". They MAY want to jam, or they may be interested in something else entirely. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not my thing.
