WHAT IS A RONROCO?
A ronroco is a stringed instrument originating from the Andean region of South America, often considered a larger, lower-pitched relative of the well-known charango.
Typically featuring five courses of double strings, its unique character is partly defined by the middle course often being tuned in octaves, contributing to its rich resonance and notable sustain – qualities that differentiate its sound significantly from the brighter, quicker decay of the charango.
While rooted in Andean folk traditions, the ronroco has found a powerful and versatile voice in contemporary music and film scoring, largely thanks to Gustavo Santaolalla's pioneering use of the instrument. This library specifically captures the E-minor tuned variant he famously uses, known for its deeply soulful, atmospheric, and evocative tone.
