The cajón is a percussion instrument originating from Peru, where it was popularized in the 19th century, though its older roots lie in the African communities brought to South America. It is a versatile instrument that has become a crucial element in various musical genres, including flamenco, Latin American music, jazz, and more recently, in popular and rock music.
