A charango player is called a charanguista.Ī traditional charango made of armadillo, today superseded by wooden charangos, in Museu de la Música de Barcelona The charango was primarily played in traditional Andean music. It typically has ten strings in five courses of two strings each, but many other variations exist. Many contemporary charangos are now made with different types of wood. Charangos for children may also be made from calabash. Wood is more commonly used in modern instruments. Ībout 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), but it can also be made of wood, which some believe to be a better resonator. 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. The charango is a small Andean stringed instrument of the lute family, from 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.
