Amín Castellanos Herrera plays the electric guitar; Yensi Ferney Trujillo is the bass player, Carlos Gutierrez plays the bandola. The bandola is a Catalan string instrument with four orders and one string on each order. It is tuned as a mandolin on thirds, fourths and fifths, which in the Llano region is called “transports”. It is played “pajueliao”, making it easier for the performers of the string, so they can play them strongly with the plectrum with harmony to make the melody;and llanero cuatro, as the tiple.
