Tonolec - No mandolin content

[Ivan Kelsall]

I'm a great lover of South American music,more especially the music of Brazil & the music of the indigenous people of South America. Many months ago while searching for some new music on YouTube,i came on a few clips of the Argentinian Duo ''Tonolec' - Charo Bogarin & Diego Perez. One of the songs was obviously sung in Spanish,but the other song is in a language that i've not been able to trace. It doesn't appear to be in Quechuan ( Inca language). Has anybody on here any idea what it might be,or where i can maybe find some info. I'm hoping that somebody from South America might be able to steer me in the right direction,

I think it is Guarani. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarani_language

Is that a charango she is playing?

Many thanks Pete - I'll check it out. That Guarani is is spoken by people in North Eastern Argentina looks as though it fits the part. JH - It could very well be a Charango.

Thanks again - Ivan

I found out that the language in which she's singing is the Toba Indian language - Qom or Toba Qom,
