Charango and pan pipe photos from cityfolk.org
Which traditional Andean instrument is descended from the Quechua people's ancestors -- the Inca?
The answer is the pan pipes, not the charango, which is a small ukelele-like instrument made with an armadillo shell.
Originating in Peru, these instruments are now used in nearby countries. Often accompanied by drums and flutes, they create the typical Andean sounds.
