Porch Music Store Cajons
Playing music on the front porch with handmade instruments has a long history in the United States. According to the authors of “Handmade Music Factory”, plantation slaves began singing on their front porches with instruments fashioned with cast-off parts and many were variations of instruments from their African homelands.
The cajon drum was thought to have originated around the 16th century in Peru. Slaves would create their cajons from old packing crates or wooden drawers to mimic the drum sounds of their African homeland. The word cajon literally means crate or drawer in Spanish.
