Abakua, you made those Chekeres that are pictured? They are beautiful, really works of art. Congratulations. To me the Chekere is more than a musical instrument it is a work of visual art as well. The simplicity of the design but the detail and intricacies of the bead work is really cool. A beautiful handmade chekere really stirs the soul.

Hola Abakua,
I have been in contact with Jaisen couple of times by phone, very nice guy! He is a NYC rumbero-batalero and plays around the city with cats like Pedro Martínez, Roman Díaz, Gene Golden, and I believe with "Puntilla" too. He along with his wife are making the chekeres. Give them a call!
