The Quijada and the Cajita: Afro-Peruvian Instruments in Conversation

This is not just a rhythm section. This is a conversation between two instruments born out of survival, memory, and joy. In this moment from one of our live shows in Lima, I’m playing the quijada de burro — the jawbone of a donkey — and Toño Vilchez is on the cajita, a small wooden box that once collected offerings in colonial churches. Both of these instruments carry stories, and when we play them, we’re not just making music — we’re honoring where that music came from. This is Afro-Peruvian jazz: a sound rooted in the past, lived in the present, and made to protect what’s real. 🎺 If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Peru… of feeling the music in the room, not through a screen — I want to invite you. 👉 Learn how to join us in Lima: https://go.perubehindthescenes.com We play live every week.
