wiki:

A cajón (Spanish for 'crate', 'drawer', or 'box', pronounced 'ka.CHON') is a kind of box drum played by slapping the front face (generally thin plywood) with the hands.

The cajón is the most widely used Afro-Peruvian musical instrument in the 20th century.^[1] The instrument has been officially declared "Cultural Patrimony of the Nation" by the Peruvian government.

Slaves of West and Central African origin in the Americas, specifically Peru, are considered to be the source of the cajón drum; though the instrument is common in musical performance throughout the Americas, especially Cuba. In Cuba, the cajón is associated with the Afro-Cuban drum/song/dance style known as rumba, while in Peru it is associated with several Afro-Peruvian genres.

The cajón was most likely developed in coastal Peru during the early 1800s.^[2] The instrument reached a peak in popularity by 1850, and by the end of the 19th century cajón players were experimenting with the design of the instrument by bending some of the planks in the cajón's body to alter the instrument's patterns of sound vibration.^[3]

In contemporary times, the instrument became an integral important part of Peruvian musicCuban music. and

In the 1970s the instrument was introduced to Flamenco music by guitarist Paco de Lucía.
