Heavenly Peaks (Relaxation, Stress-Relief, Sleep, Love)
by Sherry Shieh
This music is composed with charango and aims to improve sleep and happiness and reduce anxiety. It is optimal for relaxation. The charango’s sound is powerful, high-pitched, and sweet. It is well suited to playing melancholy Andean ballads, but it can also produce a joyous, bouncy sound. Traditionally, the charango’s bowl-shaped soundbox was made from the hard shells of armadillos. Today, most charangos are made of wood, which actually has a better sound (this also conserves poor armadillo!).
