[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The charango is a stringed instrument, similar to a guitar, but smaller in size and higher in pitch, that has a very important place in traditional Andean music.

The sweet musical tones of the charango can be heard in the folk music of Chile, Colombia, Argentina and -most of particularly- Peru and Bolivia.
