Artisans in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso, craft these great musical instruments from recycled Nescafe coffee cans. A great gift for music lovers or collectors of recycled crafts, each kalimba is completely unique and makes lovely African music. Since 1995, Swahili has been partnering with African artisans to showcase how beautifully traditional craft methods adapt to modern life. They strive to develop products sustainably that benefit African communities. Materials: Repurposed tin can, metal, wood
