Two Classic Instruments Combined
The Maracabasa from Pearl is a combination of two Latin instruments, the maracas and the cabasa. The Maracabasa combines the function of both instruments to create a unique, handheld instrument that has versatile playing applications. The body of the maracabasa is made from ribbed fiberglass and is wrapped in shekere-style beads. You can shake them like maracas or twist and strike them like you would play a cabasa. The percussionists here at Sweetwater especially like the maracabasa’s molded foam handle that’s comfortable to play for hours. If you play music with maraca and cabasa, or are looking for a cost-effective two-in-one instrument, the Pearl Maracabasa will more than deliver.
