A 5-chord zither rendition of the famous Cuban song. I have added a middle section. You can download the original audio file of this piece on etiennedelavaulx.bandcamp.com...
Oui, mais d'une maniere bien reduite. Je ne joue plus en publique et je suis plus ou moins en retraite. J'ai 2 eleves. Par contre, je done plus de cours de guitare. Merci de votre interet. Amicalement, Etienne
Hello Paul, Thank you for your interest. About levers, The lever when upright raises a small tab which lifts the string slightly. The vibrating length of the string becomes shorter making the note a semi tone higher. It is like putting a finger on the 1st fret of a guitar string. In my tuning (which is different from the original tuning) the G chord, furthest left, is tuned to G minor (with a B flat). With the lever up, the B flat becomes B natural and the chord becomes G major). Similarly, D minor becomes B flat (but inverted = with a D bass) This is the tuning I use on my 5 chord zither: Melody section: a0, b0, c1, d1, e1, f1, g1, a1, bflat1, b1, c2, d2, e2, f2, g2, a2, bflat2, b2, c3, d3, e3. Chords: from left to right: G major ( g1, d1, b0, gbass) D minor (f1, d1, a0 dbass) F major (f1, c1, a0, fbass) A minor (e1, c1, a0, abass) C major (e1, c1, g0, cbass). Unfortunately, the person who made these levers cannot make any more. Best regards, Etienne
@@guitarzither thanks for the information. ihave just purchased a 5-chord zither from eBay, and am waiting for it to come. From the eBay listing it seems to be in good condition, but we'll see what it's like when it arrives. I will probably get an autoharp maker to refurbish it, and put new strings on it with basically diatonic tuning, but with a sharp or flat in each octave, just as you did. I am trying to work out what keys to use and what chords. i will mostly (try to) play Irish Celtic music on it. Any advice would be appreciaed.
Magical fingers. Every time I hear it it's mesmerizing
Enchanting ! I'm spellbound!
I don't care how old these videos get. The music is still beautiful.
Great job. I listened this song for the first time at school, in the Spanish class, average 20 years ago.
Thank you that is one of my favorites. Reminds me of our family vacation in Cuba, they play it alot there. 😊
Delightful performance.
Beautiful playing, and an excellent arrangement. Thanks for sharing.

what are the chords on this zither. " of them have sharping levers. Are they to change the chord from minor to major> and who made them?
Hello Paul,
Thank you for your interest.
About levers,
The lever when upright raises a small tab which lifts the string slightly. The vibrating length of the string becomes shorter making the note a semi tone higher. It is like putting a finger on the 1st fret of a guitar string.
In my tuning (which is different from the original tuning) the G chord, furthest left, is tuned to G minor (with a B flat). With the lever up, the B flat becomes B natural and the chord becomes G major).
Similarly, D minor becomes B flat (but inverted = with a D bass)
This is the tuning I use on my 5 chord zither:
Melody section: a0, b0, c1, d1, e1, f1, g1, a1, bflat1, b1, c2, d2, e2, f2, g2, a2, bflat2, b2, c3, d3, e3.
Chords: from left to right: G major ( g1, d1, b0, gbass) D minor (f1, d1, a0 dbass) F major (f1, c1, a0, fbass) A minor (e1, c1, a0, abass) C major (e1, c1, g0, cbass).

Como se llama el instrumento musical
Es una cítara. Es más probable que la encuentres por su nombre en inglés, zither (concretamente, esta es una 5-chord zither, o cítara de 5 acordes).
右手はおんがくで左側ンでしよう
Right hand is melody, left hand is strumming chords like a guitar.
