Advanced Afuche Techniques by Jim Greiner

In this video lesson, Jim Greiner continues his series on how-to play the LP Afuche Cabasa. Holding the afuche with your dominant hand make a shallow arc upwards. Let the beads spin and then follow the arc back down. Relax and breathe so that the movement is fluid. Like many instruments start with traditional methods but experiment and discover your own playing techniques.
