Hello people

Today I will tell you about a thik that I want to have. This think is a musical instrument, a Cuatro Venezolano what is like an ukelele but is not an ukelele, just have the same size and both have four string but they have diferent origin. The Cuatro Venezolano is used principally in the traditional music of Venezuela and also is easy to find it in the latinoamerican musci in general. It is used to play diferent rhythms and particulary the Joropo what is traditional of venezuela, this music is very dificul to play in the Cuatro, it require a complex technique and skill. In Chile Violeta Parra used the Cuatro to play and record some songs, the most known example is ''Que he sacado con quererte".
Well I want this instrument because always I have been captivate for his sound and form to play. One year ago a friend whit who I play music lend a Cuatro to me for one month. I was facinated with the instrument and I learn some songs... but only for one month :(

Good bye
