Aslatua (us-a-la-twa)

Sold as a pair.

Originating from Ghana, this unique hand percussion instrument is an attention grabber, especially with kids. Also known as aslato, kashaka, cascas, televi, kasso-kassoni, and more, it is designed to be played in pairs – one per hand. Two balls/gourds (filled with pebbles) are connected by a string. The pebbles make the soothing sounds when shaken & the balls hitting together make a clicking sound. You can have hours of fun playing with this.

The aslatua is a very popular instrument amongst children. Why? The balls move so fast it’s hard to keep up. While the rhythms take a lot of practice, it pays off with this impressive instrument.
