EL CHARANGO
COMPOSER, ARRANGER AND MUSICAL DIRECTOR, CHILE
Historic figure of the iconic Chilean group Inti-Illimani. His international career has led him to share stages, and to produce and record alongside leading figures of Spanish-language music, such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Silvio Rodríguez, Pablo Milanés, Mon Laferte and Isabel Parra.
“Very realistic, natural sound and practical to use. The solution for those of us who haven’t mastered playing the charango. It also has a series of MIDI files of traditional rhythms, very well performed.”
