The cajón is the most widely used Afro-Peruvian musical instrument in the 20th century.
Slaves of West and Central African origin in the Americas, specifically Peru, are considered to be the source of the cajón drum; though the instrument is common in musical performance throughout the Americas. In Cuba, the cajón is associated with the Afro-Cuban drum/song/dance style known as rumba, while in Peru it is associated with several Afro-Peruvian genres.
The cajón was introduced into flamenco in only the 1970s by guitarist Paco de Lucía. While in Peru, he was given the cajón by percussionist Caitro Soto. In the Paco de Lucia sextet, the cajón is played by Brazilian percussionist Rubem Dantas. The modern cajón is often used to accompany the acoustic guitar and is showing up on worldwide stages in contemporary music.
Mattthe popular Spanish flamenco/rock/rumba duo Estopa, Norah Jones, Seth Lakeman, The Coronas, and Tom Baxter have all recently featured the cajón either on stage or television, and some have used it in the recording of their albums.
