Cajón Pepote Camino Portable

The Pepote Camino cajón has an American walnut front panel and a birch body. Without a tension system, it has 10 strings that give it the typical sound of this instrument.

The Pepote Camino is a very interesting instrument for musicians who take the cajón seriously and everywhere. With a robust construction, the Camino is a very light cajón, ideal for taking to parties or impromptu concerts.

The cajón is an instrument widely used in flamenco. It comes from South America, but has African origins: created by slaves taken to Latin America, the cajón took root in Peru, where it is considered Cultural Heritage of the Nation. Paco de Lucia introduced this instrument to flamenco, becoming part of its modern sound that seems to have always been part of this musical style.

The original traditional construction of the cajón is simple, being just a rectangular box. Thanks to the influence of flamenco, catchphrases were included, such as those on snare drums, which give it another timbre, resonance, and a greater variety of sounds.

Since 1990, José "Pepote" Hernández Díaz has been manufacturing cajóns and developing them in search of the best sound and quality. It all started when he was still 13 years old, he went to a Paco de Lucia concert and fell in love with the box from which the rhythms came, to the point of wanting to make his own. Today, it is one of the references in the manufacture of cajóns and one of the reference producers worldwide.

The Pepote Camino cajón was designed to be played anytime and anywhere, with soul and a lot of rhythm to make your musical journey.
