The caxixi is a percussion instrument consisting of a closed basket with a flat-bottom filled with seeds or other small particles. Like the maraca, it is sounded by shaking. Variations in sound are produced by varying the angle at which the caxixi is shaken, determining whether the contents strike the reed basket (softer sound) or the hard bottom (louder, sharper sound).
