Photorealistic shot of an Afro-Caribbean man playing a wooden bajo de cajón on a sandy beach at sunrise, with palm trees and ocean waves in the background.

An Afro-Caribbean man playing a traditional "bajo de cajón" (Caribbean quijongo bass) on the beach of Cahuita, Costa Rica. The instrument consists of a rectangular wooden box placed on the ground, from which rises a long, slightly curved dark wooden stick attached at the front-right corner. A thick shark fishing line runs from the top of the stick down to the box, acting as a single string. The man is pulling the stick to adjust the string tension while plucking it, and also striking the box like a drum. He wears beige pants, brown work boots, a black shirt, and a red cap. The beach has brown sand, with soft waves from the Caribbean Sea in the background, tropical vegetation and palm trees behind, and a warm Caribbean sunrise lighting the scene. Natural colors, photorealistic, high detail, culturally respectful, documentary style. See more
