The round bottom is traditionally cut from a dried gourd.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> It is found across Africa and South America, but mainly in Brazil and Cuba, used in staging the ritual. In Brazil, the smaller-sized caxixi began to be played alongside the berimbau. The larger sized caxixi were first used on recordings by Airto Moreira, but it was Naná Vasconcelos who furthered the use of caxixi for rhythmic accompaniment and colors. In West Africa, it is used by singers and often alongside drummers. Natives believed the caxixi to summon good enchanted spirits and to ward off evil ones. More modern caxixis are made out of metal and have a more cutting sound as a result.<br /> <br /> == Technique ==<br /> <br /> == Manufacturers ==<br /> [[Latin Percussion]] &lt;br/&gt;<br /> [[Meinl Percussion]] &lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Retailers ==<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> [[Caxirola]] &lt;br/&gt;<br /> [[Shaker]] &lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Don&#039;t forget to add or delete headings as necessary --&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category: Percussion Instruments]]<br /> [[Category: Brazilian Instruments]]</div>
