Cajon Drum Lesson For Children at The New York Public Library With Rapper/Percussionist Randy Mason

Updated: Dec 17, 2024

A few photos from today's Cajon drum and rap workshop for children at The New York Public Library Eastchester Branch in the Bronx where families were introduced to the Cajon drum, an African Peruvian instrument via interactive beats and rhymes. Kids got to make beats, dance, rap and even craft, color and keep their own cardboard cajon drum using shoe boxes, paper clips and tape! Special thanks to Stephanie Rojas, branch manager, the Eastchester branch staff and all of the participating families.
