Master your single-handed polyrhythms, replace a lost shaker, or mix-and-match sizes with this Single Asalato Shaker. Handcrafted in West Africa from 100% natural gourds, this traditional percussion instrument delivers a crisp, authentic “clack” and a smooth shake.

Designed with a classic fixed-length cord, it provides the authentic, time-tested playing experience of the original Kashaka.

Please Note: This listing is for ONE single shaker (two connected gourds for one hand). If you need a complete set for both hands, please purchase two, or see our “Pair of Asalato” listings!

Choose Your Perfect Fit:

Small (approx. 1.5″): Best for youth, petite hands, or a lighter, higher-pitched sound.
