Understanding Polyrhythms with Kashaka!

#asalato #kashaka #polyrhythms

Hi there! For this week’s video I wanted to explore the process of playing different rhythmic groupings on the Kashakas to create polyrhythms. This lesson will take you through some different polyrhythmic options, and how to decode and get started with them, whether you own some Kashakas or not!

Let me know what you think of this lesson, and feel free to ask questions or even suggest ideas for future videos. I’m open!
