STEWART COPELAND

Last month a record was broken, around 1,050 peruvian percussionists of afroperuvian instrument "Cajon" ("The Box" used by Stewart on Arte film with Daniel Hope) reunited in a park for broken a record guiness.

"Cajon" or "The Box" is an afroperuvian percussion instrument made of wood with a hole and playing by hands.. It is essential part of afro-peruvian music developed in Peru by the descendants of african slaves that came to Peru in the 16th century. On the 70's a peruvian "Cajon" percussionist visited Spain with peruvian amazing legend singer-composer "Chabuca Granda" and gave his "Cajon" as a gift to extraordinary spanish guitarist "Paco de Lucia", who adopted it since those day like a percussion part of "Flamenco" music.
