Rhythm to Build Yourself: Cajon Building in ZAM Erlangen
In ZAM - Center for Exchange and Doing in Erlangen, craftsmanship meets sound: a Cajon is created from wood, glue, and a few screws to form your own percussion instrument. The format combines creative work with an immediate concert experience in miniature - first build, then play, first shape, then groove.
A Workshop with Sound and Character
The Cajon has its roots in Cuba and Peru, was born as a simple box, and evolved into a staple of modern live music. It is precisely this history that makes the workshop appealing: From a simple workpiece, an instrument with surprising sound diversity emerges, instantly functioning in small clubs, around campfires, or in rehearsal rooms.
Craftsmanship that Becomes Audible
At ZAM, the practical process is at the center. Layered birch multiplex plywood, battens, wood glue, and precisely cut material provide the foundation for a high-quality Cajon. The result is not just an instrument but also a seat with character - robust, compact, and ready for the first rhythm.
Open Workshop, Strong Atmosphere
The Center for Exchange and Doing is located in Erlangen's old town and is considered a place for technology, science, art, and shared experimentation. This very mix also shapes the Cajon Construction: a concentrated working atmosphere, solid materials, and the good feeling of completing a project with your own hands. Those who want to experience live atmosphere not only on stage but also in the creation of sound will find a special date here.
Designed for Beginners
The workshop is aimed at participants without prior knowledge and relies on clear, understandable guidance. This makes the date particularly accessible - for everyone seeking a practical introduction to rhythm, woodworking, and instrument building. In the end, a personal unique piece stands ready, putting your musical expression directly in your hands.
The Cajon building in ZAM promises a creative afternoon between workbench and soundcheck, between precision and playfulness. Those who want to not just hear music but create it themselves should take this experience live.
