Getting back to the roots of the cajon.
The roots of the cajon go back to the days of slave labor.
The African slaves had their Congas taken away by the slave owners in fear that the drums were giving the slaves power.
The suppressive owners could never take away the desire to communicate and create through drumming. These slaves, on
their own time, would use the boxes (Cajons) used for packing & shipping to play the spiritual rhythms they had brought
from home.
This is where the modern day cajon evolved from.
Thus the use of common pine lumber to create the "Primal" line of "Cajongos"
