Cajón in Más y Más Maharajah Flamenco Trio 2023-06-08 | 🎶In the 1970s Flamenco guitar master Paco de Lucia was gifted a cajon by Peruvian composer & cajon master, Caitro Soto. De Lucia liked the instrument's sound so much he began to include the cajón in his own repertoire. The cajon grew in popularity, becoming a key feature in many styles of Flamenco music. Watch our musical brother Ramin play the first beats of "Mas y Mas" on the cajón, then listen to how the sound blends in with the other instruments as we play the same piece of music together.🎶Click here to listen to the full studio version of "Más y Más": youtube.com/watch?v=9jQK5hb5VTc
