Kiseng Kiseng: Traditional Seed Pod Kashakas

Organic • Soulful

Kisengers are made from gourds of the Oncoba spinosa tree in Senegal, traditionally used to make Kashakas. We shellac them with care, fit them with eyelets, and string them with your choice of rope color.

• Available in 3 sizes

• 3 coats of shellac for beauty and preservation

• Choose from 3 rope colors

• Filled with organic shaker materials and ready to sing

These instruments may break with use—but we see this as a rite of passage. It means you’ve been practicing so, good for you! 💛

If they do happen to break (and they may not), send us a photo and we’ll send you a 40% off coupon to upgrade to our more durable Boom, Laka, or Papa Kashakas. And your photo will go on our Kashaka Wall of Fame!
