A live recording of a Palo ceremony in La Habana, Cuba, incorporating cajones, wooden sound boxes as percussion instruments. On this recording, we hear just two cajones and a guataca. The larger, deep sounding cajon carries the basic rhythm implying bass strokes, while the smaller, higher pitched cajon improvises on top of it. This concept of a higher pitched solo drum is borrowed from the quinto in Rumba. In all other African and Afro-Cuban drumming styles including Palo Congo, it is typically the big, deep sounding instrument that has the soloing function.
