About the Chajchas

The chajcha is a traditional percussion instrument of the Andean Altiplano, deeply rooted in Andean folklore, rituals, and ceremonies. Historically crafted from animal hooves, modern versions use natural seeds from the Amazon jungle, which produce a rich, organic rattling sound when shaken. The chajcha is one of the most distinctive and earthy sounds of Andean music.

This chajcha is made with natural seeds and can be used two ways: held by the cloth tape between the fingers, or worn as a bracelet to keep your hands free while playing — making it ideal for dancers and percussionists alike.
