\n
Jusque dans les ann\u00e9es 50 le cajon s’est vu transform\u00e9, perfectionn\u00e9 jusqu’\u00e0 trouver la forme qu’on lui conna\u00eet actuellement…<\/div>\n
Le caj\u00f3n est une caisse de r\u00e9sonance parall\u00e9l\u00e9pip\u00e8de, de 50cm x 30cm x 30cm (hauteur\/largeur\/profondeur) en moyenne. La plaque de frappe (devant) est plus fine que les autres c\u00f4t\u00e9s, ce qui permet une \u00e9lasticit\u00e9 et une r\u00e9sonance propre au caj\u00f3n. Au dos, un trou d’environ 10cm de diam\u00e8tre permet la sortie du son (m\u00eame effet qu’un event de d\u00e9compression d’une enceinte de sono). Un timbre situ\u00e9 sous la plaque sup\u00e9rieure vibre lors de la frappe de l’instrument. Il permet de diff\u00e9rencier les cajones, tout en donnant au son cette ressemblance \u00e0 la caisse claire de la batterie. <\/div>\n
On joue du caj\u00f3n en \u00e9tant assis dessus, mais certaines personnes l’utilisent bloqu\u00e9 \u00e0 plat entre les jambes (comme un djemb\u00e9) ou encore pos\u00e9 sur un socle devant soi.<\/div>\n
Diff\u00e9rents sons se situent sur diverses parties de l’instrument, en allant du haut vers le centre on obtient des sons du plus aig\u00fc au plus grave.<\/div>\n
Le caj\u00f3n peut se jouer avec les mains mais aussi les talons (des pieds). Une technique consiste \u00e0 poser le pied sur la table de frappe de haut en bas pour modifier le son pendant que l’on joue avec les mains.<\/div>\n
D’apparence rudimentaire, il offre de multiples combinaisons sonores s’adaptant \u00e0 tous les genres musicaux m\u00eame s’il reste l’instrument phare des musiques latines<\/div>\n
Le cajon et la cajita ne sont pas des instruments musicaux communs et si, paradoxalement, les conquistadores n’avaient pas interdit les tambours aux esclaves, la musique afro-p\u00e9ruvienne n’aurait pas connu l’ampleur des rythmes et la singularit\u00e9 des sons qu’on lui conna\u00eet aujourd’hui.<\/div>\n
