“Ka-Hon” Free Kids’ Show in the Park (2024 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

What’s in that box, you ask? In the hands of Ka-Hon, a gentle spring shower, a flamenco troupe, a galloping stallion and a rumba circle. Drawing on a pan-American array of rhythms, the high-energy ensemble displays the astounding versatility of the humble cajón, a simple wooden box usually played by a percussionist seated atop it.
