In traditional Velez music ensembles, the instruments can be divided into chordophones (tiple, requinto and guitar), idiopones (chucho, alfondoque, carraca, guacharaca, quiribillo, and esterilla) and membranophones (pandereta, zambumbia). This section provides the description, image couplet, couplet explanation and corresponding video of each instrument; most of the videos were exclusively recorded in January 2021 as part of this project and counted with the participation of members of the music ensemble Corazon Santandereano.
The order on how the instruments are presented in this document wants to follow the placement of the musicians on the stage going left to right. Starring with the chordophone instruments and concluding with the percussion instruments. It is important to mention that in the percussion instruments the placement can vary depending on each ensemble and the needs of each performance which will be discussed after.
