Cheering up when we hear a Charango

Meet the many-stringed Andean “guitar….”

Since we’re focusing on Ecuador this week in class we must get ourselves in the mood by enjoying a performance on charango, a small and lively Andean “guitar.” This is a video of a guy showing off his chops by playing charango in a music store in La Paz, Bolivia. Does that mean this song is the Andean equivalent of “Stairway to Heaven?”
