Monique is a ceremonial musician and charango teacher and created Charango With Monique, a didactic platform all about this magical 10-string instrument from the high Andes. 20+ years of exploring the charango in depth. Teaching in inspiring and approachable ways.
The Charango is a 10-string instrument from the Andes mountains of South America, celebrated for its healing and ceremonial uses.
Monique’s mission is to listen to intersectional wisdom and ancestral voices; and to connect to Great Mystery and Purpose via the magic of the charango. Grateful to the space between the notes.
