music
While in San Jose, I picked up a 10-stringed Peruvian mandolin (right) and a Bolivian charango (left) from a couple Bolivian guys who sold indiginous South American clothing, crafts, instruments, etc... Wrote a couple songs that I play with the other Americans. We call ourselves Los Gringos Malos. In the background is a Costa Rican blanket.

10-stringed mandolin?? wowza. I'm assuming that means 5 different notes? What's the 5th string tuned to?

It's the same tuning as other mandolins, but the E and D have an extra string... ¡Más fuerza y más divertido!

Those look like some badass strings, and the song is clearly a hit. Viva la musica
Oro - I sang the song for a class, now people can't get enough of it. ¡Viva!
