We all need a little boost about now -

My favorite thing about it is that it is a panoply of guitars. 19th c to 21st c, big and small, good shape and bad shape, 3 string, 4 string, 5 string, 6 string, 8 string and 10 string.

Check 2:50, The guy is from Serbia and it looks like a very early 19th c German or Austrian 5 string. Can anyone identify it?

I saw Los Lobos live at a little bar in London in late 1986, I think. They were awesome. Great musicians. However, that harpist stole this particular video. He was tearing it up.

Very cool. I like how you can hear the different styles.

That was fun. Thanks for posting. In 1973, I was living with a Mexican family in Veracruz on a high school exchange program and I got to hear this song played in the original Son Jarocho style by a Jarocho band in Veracruz where the song comes from. The good singers improvise new lyrics for the song. I got to hear Jarocho bands several times while I was there and the harpists in those bands were all blazing fast.
