Combination Rag with Asalato

Playing an old string band tune with Devin Champlin and Katy Harris. I&playing an African shaker with many names: Asalato, Kashaka, Kosika, Patica, Kass-Kass, Thelevi, etc. I&no expert player, but I think the basic rhythms they make often fit old ragtime tunes like this one, originally recorded by the East Texas Serenaders in 1927. I bought my aslato at Rhythm Traders in Portland, Oregon. Scroll down a bit on this page to find them: Here are some asalato videos here on YouTube:
