I love that you're taking time out of your day to make videos like these with your recent bump in popularity - I think it's not only a great idea to spread the love of historical instruments, but also to capitalize on the new viewerbase to get even more people interested in something you've clearly spent countless hours researching and learning out of passion. The information and the musicianship are top notch, and I hope to see more like this in the future!

8:58 Yes! In fact, one of Fandango's daughters in Chile, the Cueca (mixed with the petenera, the Jota and the Italian gallarda) was banned from the streets for leading people killing each other. In fact, today Cueca is still played not only in a traditional way but also in a popular way at parties in the most rural areas If you come to Chile, let me be your tour guide theres a lot of tradicional things in the music here

@@Floral_Green In the book "cueca: Danza de vida y muerte" by "Margot Loyola" the influences and similarities of the "cueca" with the gallarda are mentioned the issue is that there are more similarities than influences even Carlos Vega (Margot's teacher) tried to relate them I'll leave you a link with information, press F3 and look for "gallarda" www.pucv.cl/uuaa/site/artic/20171005/asocfile/20171005170733/la_cueca_s.pdf as you say, the Italian immigration date is from the 1860s even from the 1870s even after these dates despite the war "Guerra del pacífico", with these immigrations accordions and some pianos were introduced in the instrumentations In some documents as "recuerdos de 30 años" of "José Zapiola" you can see a couple of paragraphs with a little information about the instrumentation and orchestration of the time also in the book "Chilena o cueca tradicional" by "Samuel Claro Valdez and Fernando González Marabolí" the influence of the province of Al-Andaluz and Arabic music and poetry in the structure of the singing of the Cueca is mentioned, in addition it mentions some investigations of the nasal singing of the cueca that comes from this Arab influence

This instrument really reminds me of the Brazilian Viola (we call it "Viola Caipira", that means "Country Viola"). It also has a thinner body and 5 pairs of strings, the last 3 pairs tuned in octaves. It sounds beautiful and it's so embedded in brazilian culture that I'm pretty sure anyone around here can immediately recognize it's sound, even if they don't like the good old brazilian country music. Keep up the great work!

We were talking just the other month in my baroque quartet about how great it'd be to have more baroque guitarists around. The rhythmic possibilities you demonstrated were what our theorbo player was getting particularly excited about it. We did a gig in which he did accompany some dances on the viola da mano which let him get into some of that space, but the baroque guitar has a power level that elevates it for that purpose I think. It's absolutely beautiful, and a definite candidate on my list of instruments I might learn if I get the time one day because apparently I don't play enough already.

This lad deserves more views. It’s nice to know there is a community for this type of music and I’m fascinated and it’s helped me along my classical guitar journey. I found new abilities that I’m shocked I can even play I’m like a virtuoso playing pica pica lol

Hello mate, this was my first video of you and i was pleasantly surprised. When you started playing, i saw you are a very knowledgable guy with classical training and it made me slightly in awe because the double string fingerpicking looks quite hard. I subscribed and am looking forward to other videos! I have a high interest in ancient musical instruments! Cheers!

Fantastic video as always Brandon! I was wondering if you'd ever thought about putting up some original pieces? I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves listening to you play!

Great info and even greater playing ! I’d like you to get a little bit further into the history of re-entrant tuning. It seems that lots of small sized guitar-like instruments in South America use some form of it, and ukulele as well. Is the baroque tuning you use some sort of transition between an older, generalised reentrant tuning, with the bass in the middle, and the post-Saenz (and lute) ascendant tuning ?

Thanks Brandon. I have been getting in antique guitars and you have been my only guiding light in all this. I found a 5 course guitar with a shorter scale then a standard classical. Mine actually has 12 strings and 5 courses, it might not be exactly a guitar, but it has that same shape to the headstock. Someone replaced the friction pegs with machine tuners at some point, but it functions alright. The A and D strings have 3 strings. It is High A, Middle A, and Low A. The D string is a Middle D, Middle D, Low D. The G course is an octave like a normal 12 string. Finally the B and E are unison with no "singer" string on the E. I have mine tuned down half a step because I'm terrified of breaking the guitar, but you're telling me that is the correct pitch. Sorry for the long winded comment. I am really loving this instrument though, and you're the only one who seems to know anything about it.

How fascinating. I try not to feel down as I delve deeper into temperaments and the whole modernization of the instruments and music in general, but the more I learn, the more I see that, as in painting, classical music also lost a lot of the complexity and range it possessed. This simple demonstration was already mind boggling as to what this instrument could do. I can only wonder what dedicated musicians of the time could do with them after a lifetime of practice. Thanks again for sharing, you truly are great to listen to.
