Rufus Glassco has the makings of a dream stashed in his Toronto garage. T he whole space is crammed with boxes full of Kashakas. The Kashaka - The Ultimate African Shaker. A little instrument that looks like two golf size balls - filled with tiny pebbles joined by a string. Think miniature maracas. Without the stick.
For more than ten years Rufus has been looking for his breakout moment, when his Kashakas take the rhythm world by storm. A few weeks ago, on a very cold winter night, he thought - again - that he might be on the verge of something.
Sunday Edition producer Frank Faulk likes to rattle and roll, and so he met up with Rufus as he prepared for a public event.
