Introduction of the Cajón to flamenco
During one of their visits to Peru, Paco de Lucia and his Brazilian percussionist Rubem Dantas encountered the Cajon. They liked the sound of the drum and later introduced it to flamenco music. They placed guitar strings in the inside of the playing surface, creating a snare effect that is used in the Cajon Flamenco until today, which is the main difference to the traditional Cajon Peruano. Rubem Dantas not only introduced the Cajon to flamenco, he also used other Brazilian percussion like berimbao and cuica. Before him there was not much percussion in flamenco music except hands (palmas) and feet.
