Author Bonnie Carol learned first hand about soulful Latin American music as she grew up along the Texas-Mexico border. In this book, she takes familiar and obscure Latin American tunes and pieces influenced by Latin music and arranges them for hammered dulcimer, and in some cases fretted dulcimer (with tablature) as well. She draws from a repertoire including Argentinean tangos, Andean panpipe music, Mexican mariachi music, Central American marimba music, and music of the Chicano culture of the Southwest.

This is a CHROMATIC DULCIMER offering, arranged for solo mountain dulcimer in 1-5-8 or DAD tuning. Mildly challenging for the intermediate level player due to the numerous three finger chords involved.

Three pages. Tablature, standard musical notation, lyrics and guitar accompaniment chords are included.
