I like this version a little bit more
Ooh I like it!!
I really love this.
Love this one X
I love, love, love, love this guy and his music
Feel so blessed that I saw him in 2019, when he was on tour, after these Yucatan Sessions recordings. I saw him and another musician, the two musicians who I most wanted to see in the whole wide world within a few months of each other. There were only seventy people in the audience, I stood, or sat, right in front, met, talked to and had my pic taken with him afterwards.
Love letting you tube just play his music. It is fresh sounding to me with the different instruments and very mellow and nice.
He is playing a charango.
"T he charango is a small Andean stringed instrument of the lute family, which probably originated in the Quechua and Aymara populations in the territory of the Altiplano in post-Colonial times, after European stringed instruments were introduced by the Spanish during colonialization. The instrument is widespread throughout the Andean regions of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, northern Chile and northwestern Argentina, where it is a popular musical instrument that exists in many variant forms.[1]
About 66 cm (26 in) long, the charango was traditionally made with the shell from the back of an armadillo (called quirquincho or mulita in South American Spanish),[2][3] but it can also be made of wood, which some believe to be a better resonator. Wood is more commonly used in modern instruments.[2] Charangos for children may also be made from calabash.[3] Many contemporary charangos are now made with different types of wood. It typically has ten strings in five courses of two strings each, but many other variations exist.
The charango was primarily played in traditional Andean music, but is more and more frequently being used by other Latin American musicians. A charango player is called a charanguista."

Couldn’t find this particular song on YouTube, but I listened to some others. I just love voices like hers! Thanks for sharing.
