Hasta siempre commandante Che Guevara

[Jean Pierre]

..if the iconic message Spanish or World Music or Charango  existed, I would have put it on 
Hasta Siempre, Comandante" is a 1965 song by Cuban composer Carlos Puebla. Since its creation, the controversy has not wavered: should we commemorate this "figure of the revolution turned militant and romantic icon"? Or should we avoid paying homage to a bloodthirsty, misogynistic and homophobic dictator?
Nevertheless, the song was a worldwide success and a multitude of covers (more than 200 versions worldwide ...).
I don't judge the content of the lyrics (... and besides I didn't understand the meaning ... I just like this Latin melody...

a friend brought a charango from Peru to my daughter.
it is a 5 double strings instrument usually tuned GCEEAE, the double strings are in unison.


I wanted to try to make something out of it ... and I had a hard time making the little gadget in sixteenth notes! ?
an Argentinean friend told me that I have a very good accent (nice but liar)
also fun to do voices the Buena vista way ?
otherwise nylon acoustic guitar

Man I really want a churango but I want with an armadillo shell as the body. Wonderful playing, beautiful aquasition.
Rock on!

Amazing sounds and performance! I feel like I always learn something about music instruments when I hear your songs. Always interesting... always a pleasure.

You took me off on a journey with this one ...didn't understand a word of the lyrics but loved the whole vibe bravo ?

[Ferryman_1957]

Like you, I am wary of the subject matter but I did not understand the words so that helped! The charango sounds really interesting and certainly gives a very latin flavour to this. As always, great singing and unique instrumentation. More fascinating music from you!

[Jean Pierre]

Thanks to all of you!
"c'est l'occasion qui fait le larron" opportunity make the thief!my son-in-law Guillaume had lent it to me a few days

the charrango is a 5-stringed instrument the case is made with the shell of a tattoo!
the strings are tuned like this G4 G4 - C5 C5 - E5 E4 - A4 A4 - E5 E5 E5

I've had a hard time playing a bit of it...and I wouldn't do it again!

NB I found a good page about tuning stringed instruments HERE
