Blanco White - The Lily | Mahogany Session

[@ddhunter85]

For those wondering about the instrument played by Blanco White on this video. It is a Bolivian Charango. There are many forms of similar instruments called Charango in latin america. But due to some information on this artist, i believe this is the one played near the Andean Mountains in Bolivia.

[@ALEX-fl3sn]

Yeap ,I'ts a charango. This instrument is used in the "música andina" In Argentina and Bolivia. I'm from Argentina.

[@camiloconstantino]

@@ALEX-fl3sn Probably the charango that he's playing is an "Ayacucho" (due to size and scale). Also, Andean music (or música Andina) is played in Bolivia, Perú (south), Chile (north), Ecuador (Sierra) and Argentina (northwest)

Thank you for saving me 20 hours of googling

[@WarMatt86]

I could listen to this music 10'000 times and still having goosebumps everytime at 3:33 😍 What a performance!

[@antihero358]

That violin transports me to another place, much love to all

[@nabxnav8078]

it's a charango, traditional instrument of south america

[@julianacarvalho1977]

There is also a violin there :)

[@lela1758]

Same here! Sound so familiar...had a strong deja-vu when I first heard it!

[@Quakeinc14]

His music is a portal.

[@youredoinglifewrong]

I wish I could like this song twice.

[@JaseStackhouse]

To me he's a magician, not just a musician... Especially after seeing him perform live

[@jortepap]

true. Blanco White live is pure magic

[@andreaenab6825]

Ja 😘

[@slowburn2948]

the lyrics, the words, the melody, the instruments, everything's perfection...

[@SyksySyksy]

This version is even more beautiful than the original❤

[@MrRyuR]

Lyrics I left a sign with a candle In the streetlight that shone below Where through the night The people dance in linen and smoke I still remember her song in my head Each palm in time Every face in that light As their mouths bellowed Now they tell me she’s just vanished Some other place by the sea But to me she was banished By herself not by me And though I still remember The streetlights are low Now dull in the night And the dance has gone quiet But the sea still bellows See the island on fire And the towers align Built in silos of sea Underneath every street Lily spoke of a city’s bones An ancient rubble of time and stone Where the walls tremor under the sky Covered day after day by the tide Could I save them if I tried? If only I could We shine our light across the ocean A Troy this city has burned We shine our light across the ocean A fire on ships will return We shine our light

[@clairebear1318]

It just sweeps me away in its current.

The combination of Blanco white and mahogany sessions is incredible and so precious♡

[@rfmilie]

i already loved his song "colder heavens". And then there is this one !!

[@martincristaldi1221]

Tanta Delicadeza y Sutilidad ... Gracias, Gracias, Gracias.

[@ashesandgold2586]

Love this guy..

[@vincecu4403]

I like the usage of The Charango in his compositions. Today I’m glad to find an English song with it. In between all the racism in pop culture these days still.

[@Aryuna3200]

I love how you play charango. It's such versatile instrument :D

[@eldiariocontemplar1435]

I love you Blanco White, you're awesome (talented and handsome).

[@frolickinginflorida4321]

holy fuck this is a masterpiece gave me goosebumps

[@Anna-wc3rl]

This is so amazing! Especially the combination of ukulele, violin and voices, just took my breathe away. Very rhytmic with variable types of dynamics, wonderful song!

[@keshika8837]

Its a chanrango not ukulele ❤️

[@mikchanclas]

Your tone is other-worldly! This performance transported me to another place and time!

This is stunning!

[@natandias7470]

incrível!

[@adilsonsilva5101]

No Brasil temos o cavaquinho, um violão pequeno, bem menor que o charango, mas temos algumas violas de 12 cordas muito parecido. Viva a America do Sul, um contonente sofrido, mas alegre.

[@vicentesanchez4939]

Excellent integration of sweet melody.

[@bernadettbotha4425]

So happy to find this song on Mahogany Sessions - AMAZING

[@JanuzBerisha]

this guy is FIRE, How he's not more famouse than Ed Sheeran ?????

[@outonthefeet]

In June, Eddie Vedder will be playing close to my home. In August, Blanco White will be playing close to my home. For some reason, I am so much more looking forward to seeing Blanco White live. I love your music, and you seem to be a really nice guy. Thank you so much!

[@whatkindofblue17]

[@lyndamartin7584]

AmaZING👀👀💗UR Musica🎶📢💋Great you guys✌

[@jackkattuk]

How does he attach the dpa mic to the charango?

[@PieDanMusic]

Does anyone have any idea what is the blueish guitar the guitarist is playing? It looks like a Stratocaster thinline, but with a Tele neck... It's gorgeous (and so is the song of course :) )

[@myskeletonboy]

Ray Donovan playing guitar!

[@ultraviolent_reys]

Can anyone post the chords?

[@cydneymellott2173]

what kind of ukulele is that?

[@shookith2840]

I think what he is using is a guitalele, which basically a 6 stringed uke. I have one myself, and I could be wrong but i think im right. Hopefully i helped!

[@jortepap]

its a charango

[@iamgodtier]

Can anyone help with the meaning of this song?

[@paola.insuasty]

[@royburr5815]

I love the song.....but do you think I can get my head around the lyrics .....help !

[@davetroll5027]

Take it for what it is. Lyrics are like paintings and these guys are abstract. You may not know what the artist intended but it still speaks to you.

[@kunaldeshpande9316]

Thought that was Haywire from Prisom Break .

[@RoSoliTaire]

He looks a bit like James Dornan.

[@willianrogerios]

Quem é o doente que dá deslike nisso? kkkkkk
