Llanera harp is a typical musical instrument of the Colombo-Venezuelan eastern region, has 32 or 33 nylon strings of different sizes and arranged in a musical scale depending on thickness.

According to Margarita Aristizabal in Arauca craft book, the legend of the instrument, "explains the appearance of the harp by a hunter to shoot an arrow with his bow saw a musical sound. So I repeated the procedure and to obtain a new sound added more strings to the bow, and as the movement impressed on his fingers, the length and fit


FOUR






Many call it the Four guitar, but the fourth is far from being one, since it has four strings and is smaller. Another difference between the guitar and the four, is that the first, most widely in technique, is sounded by tapping the strings with the fingertips (tapping), while the second, run mainly by strumming or charrasqueo.





THE BASKETS

THE CIRRAMPLA

The instrument that Cirrampla cost of a wooden stick which has tied a rope along, and as a sounding board using the mouth, vibrating the string with the fingers. Today may be considered "extinct" folklore, because no one teaches their execution and was used only here in Colombia.
