Tina,

You have already had some good suggestions but this would also be a  
good choice:

Ronroco by Gustavo Santaolalla, Nonesuch 79461

 From the Nonesuch website:

  With Ronroco, Gustavo Santaolalla fuses conventional styles with a  
progressive sensibility, in an album of original tunes inspired by  
traditional Argentinean music and influenced by music of Japan, Africa  
and eastern Europe. The record takes its name from the ronroco, a  
stringed instrument similar to the charango, although slightly larger  
and lower in pitch. The charango, a small South American guitar similar  
to the ukulele, has ten strings arranged in pairs and a body that was  
originally fashioned from an armadillo shell. ?I?ve been playing this  
instrument since I was a kid, collecting songs and thoughts about this  
record for a long time,? says Santaolalla. ?The idea was to make a  
non-traditional album, a sonic landscape.?  Ronroco features  
Santaolalla on charango, ronroco, Andean pipes, whistles and guitar, in  
collaboration with long-time partner An?bal Kerpel on vibraphone and  
melodica. The result is unlike anything Santaolalla has recorded in the  
past; an intimate musical journey and a unique work of love that has  
been years in the making. Ronroco is a project that Santaolalla holds  
special affection for: ?This album materialized a different, less known  
side of me,? says Santaolalla. ?The challenge was to keep it simple  
without giving up some rough edges, staying within the boundaries of  
the subtlety and delicacy that this music needs.?
