			Hey Jason, well it looks like you are playing an Afro-Cuban 6/8 bell pattern on the shekere.  With the two right handed movements that you were asking about you can accent those two beats with the right without doing a movement back down with the left.  So with the right you can think of it as up up with the right and then back down with the left.  I am not sure if that is a good explanation, I am not an expert of course I just know a little bit of shekere.  I hope that helps
