Here's more South American fun brought to our attention by our newly designated JazzMando International Correspondent and amateur mandolinist Nelson A. García Rodríguez, the music of Venezuelan virtuoso Ricardo Sandoval. Catch some of this terrific south-of-the-equator eight-string virtuosity on YouTube:

Nelson informs us, "The other instrument different but very similar to the mandolin are named 'bandolas'. We call 'bandola llanera' to the 4 strings and 'bandola oriental' to the 8 strings. There are another bandola of 8 strings we called 'bandola guayanesa'." These are pictured on the Ricardo Sandoval website.
He also mentions the ensemble Recoveco.
