[Riley]

Hello and greetings from Santa Barbara, California, USA. My name is Riley and I am 54 years old and retired. I have two sons, 18 and 10 years old, who are both flamenco dancers. I decided to learn to play the cajon as a way to be more involved in my boys’ flamenco activities. I hope someday to be able to accompany them on cajon while they perform.

Due in large part to Felipe’s influence I purchased two Meinl Artisan Edition flamenco cajons, one for me and one for my oldest son. One is the Buleria Line with Lava Burl tapa and the other is the Seguiriya Line in Canyon Burl. They are beautiful instruments and sound great. The flamenco musicians that I know speak very highly of the manufacturer Pepote, and I couldn’t be happier with my selections.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the group and I look forward to learning cajon with you!

Best,

Riley
