The Tabla is a versatile musical instrument primarily used in Indian Classical music and is an integral part of major traditional dances in India. In recent times, it has been used in other musical genres, such as jazz, where it adds an extra layer of charm and appeal.

Cajon drums are a type of percussion instrument that have been traditionally crafted from wood. However, in the past, Cajon drums were shaped like simple boxes, small drawers from dressers or crates used for fish. The term “Cajon” comes from the Spanish language and when translated, it means “box.” Over time, the Cajon drum was redesigned to look as it does today, a six-sided wooden box with a hole on one side, usually on the back. The wood used on five of the panels in Cajon drums is typically made from 3/4 inch wood, such as white wood or pine wood. The last side of the Cajon drum box is made from plywood.
The Cajon drum has a history that can be traced back to central and West African slaves from Peru, as well as certain parts of Cuba. It is believed that the drum was created in the 1800s on the coast of Peru, and within just five years, the Cajon drum became a popular and widely appreciated instrument. At the turn of the century, people began to experiment with the shape of the Cajon drum to change the sounds that the instrument would make … ...Read the rest.

Everyone knows from personal experience that music is soothing. Whether it’s a piece by Mozart to unwind after a long day at work, Abba’s “We Are the Champions” playing in the kitchen while cooking a challenging meal that requires confidence, or anything by Men at Work to boost energy and humor during boring test preparation, music has the power to affect our mood and emotions.
Music not only has an emotional impact but also has physiological effects that contribute to relaxation. Studies have shown that music can reduce cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. While the healing effects of music on the soul have been observed in the past, modern technology allows us to scientifically confirm these effects and demonstrate their physiological nature.
Relaxation is just one of the visible impacts of music. The fact that music reduces stress levels also has a positive effect on the immune system. Research has shown that levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A, which plays a crucial role in immune defense, increase in individuals who listen to music.
It’s worth mentioning that researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig were able to induce these changes in volunteers’ bodies by … ...Read the rest.
