Just gave my infant son his first rattle. thanks to this he's tearing it up!
I saw & heard this instrument while filming a Rumba dance in Cuba
Yes they use it a lot in rumba too.
Muchas gracias Señor de Miranda.
I'm a shekere maker and player from Chile and your videos have inspired me very much to retake this beautiful instrument.
I would really love if you could show some more afrocuban rythms with the shekere in further videos.
Greetings.
Muchas gracias, Aroldo! Traditionally the Yorubas brought rhythms with shaker to Cuba, but nowadays the shaker is also used in more modern rhythms in Cuba and also Brazil. Greetings!!
You’re a wonderful teacher. And let me guess... you are not speaking in your native tongue, right? Excellent communication skills in English. Gratitude!
More shekere! How fun! Excellent video Michael. I agree with you that the natural gourds sound much better than the fiberglass (and I prefer glass beads to plastic beads on the gourd). Regarding the tightness/looseness of the skirt, I have found it useful to thread an adjustable cord through the bottom part of the skirt so that degree of tightness on the skirt can be adjusted to any desired level.
Thank you very much especially for showing the left hand movement. It´s very helpful! And Happy new year!
You're welcome! I'm glad you like it. Happy New Year for you and your family!
Muy bueno.Gracias Michael!!!!!!
Muchas gracias, Hector!
Great Lesson!!! Study the movement and then the rhythm!!
Enjoy it, Carlos!!
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome!!
Splendid. Thank you Michael
That first shekere you played had a great base
Yes, that is a great shekere. The net is a little bit too loose, so you have to work a little bit harder... but the tone is great!
Excellent lesson. Thanks for sharing!
Jim Howell Thank you, Jim!
Excellent Lesson, Maestro, as always! Thanks. And also wishing a very Happy New Year! Ray
Thank you, Ray! I wish you a Happy New Year! Michael.
Very nice video! I like the the sound of natural gourds too. You should meke a video showing how to play shekere in escola de samba.
Thank you! Please send me a link, so I can see how they play in scolds de samba.
Wow! Great video!
Thank you, Antonio!!
Thank you. I shall return.
Hello Michael. Could you recommend any online resources for finding good quality natural gourd shakeres? I have one I really love but the tone is mid-range so I'd like to get a really good natural gourd shakere that is much larger and deeper tone. Thanks
You should ask Stan Corpus from Pacific Coast Percussion. He has big shekeres: pacificcoastpercussion.com/
@@MichaeldeMiranda Thanks so much. I'll look into that.
perfect
Thanks!
Hi, yesterday i signed up on your patreon hoping you would have lessons on the shekere. i only see one video (posted in 2022) do you not have any others? thank you
It can be that there is only one video. Is there a rhythm or something special you want to learn? Just let me know and I will look into it. And thank you for joining me on Patreon!
@@MichaeldeMiranda well I was thinking you'd have tutorials on how to play the shekere like this one. I'm starting from scratch so I just need the basics...
This is great, thank you! What size/shape of Shekere would you recommend for beginning? By the way, are you dutch? Ik hoor het in je accent :)
Ja, ik ben inderdaad uit NL. Tja, om the beginnen zou ik niet met een hele kleine shekere beginnen. Maar belangrijker is dat het netje niet te los er omheen zit. Dan moet je hele grote bewegingen maken.....
@@MichaeldeMiranda Dank je, dat is goed om te weten. Ik heb nog een vraag, als ik ze opzoek zie ik vaak dat het netje ook aan de onderkant zit vast gebonden (hoe moet je dan die slag met je rechterhand maken?), of dat de bovenkant niet open is. Moet ik daarmee rekening houden? Super goede video trouwens!
@@eskervandewerken9431 Tsja, er zijn veel verschillende shekeres. Je moet een Cubaanse of Braziliaanse shekere kopen. Die zijn open van boven en het netje loopt niet helemaal door. In Afrika heb je vaak ook andere die je ook weer anders bespelen moet. Heel veel succes!
@@percussionplayalong304 Heel erg bedankt!
Thanks for this Sr. de Miranda :]
Have you ever done a video on Güiro? ( The instrument, not the Rhythm you mentioned )
Thank you! Actually, I don't think I ever did a video on guiro. Perhaps in 2017!
Michael de Miranda
...if it's anything like the way you play Shekere, I'm eager to hear!
You opened my eyes to how some familiar sounds are achieved!
Próspero año nuevo profesor! :]
Good Day Michael
Can you show some me some pattern for the tumba rithym.
Blessings
mi pana excelente toca asi y canta y has coro para ver???
Do you have an instructional DVD specifically teaching shekere?
Unfortunately I don't have any DVD's.....
He’s got plenty of great lessons on youtube.
