The Ronroco

The creator of The Bandoneon, the film composer Guillermo Guareschi, presents a new and exciting Kontakt Library intended to become a singular tool for composers and musicians. The Ronroco belongs to the family of the Charangos, a typical South-American instrument. It is like a Charango but bigger in size with a deep and warmer sound. It was brought to the international scene by the two-time Oscar winner, Gustavo Santaolalla. He uses the Ronroco in almost all his projects, such as “The Last of Us”, “Brokeback Mountain”, “Babel” and Michael Mann's film, "The Insider" among others. “As a film composer and producer, I created this Ronroco Kontakt Instrument having in mind the needs of musicians and film composers. You can almost score a whole film using this instrument alone. It’s that powerful.” Guillermo Guareschi. It is more than a simple instrument, it is a Creative Workstation where you can compose and create original and realistic tunes and atmospheric landscapes. Vintage valves, modern preamps, and a wide array of microphones were used to capture a big, organic, and natural sound. The Ronroco was recorded and built with a special hand - This particular Ronroco was created by one of the best Luthiers of Charangos and Ronrocos in South America. The Ronroco was hand-made in Maimara. Maimara is a small town on the border of Argentina and Bolivia where the Ronroco was built by a local and very talented Luthier. A real echo chamber was built especially for the recording session. We are proud of this new release by Zonora Audio that will certainly become an inspiring tool for any musician.
