I enjoy the sound and qualities of my Sela CaSela Black Dark Nut Cajon very much. It gives me a very defined sound in the low, mid, and high frequencies. Its "Removable Snare" and "Removable Top" systems make it a versatile cajon where I frequently play Flamenco, Latin Jazz, Afro-Cuban, and World Music rhythms. It is a solid and ergonomic cajon with which I can play with musical dynamics, speed, and expression, making it indispensable in my concerts, tours, classes, workshops, recordings, and music therapy sessions. I am glad to be the first Sela Endoser in Ecuador.
