Previously the studies of the Bandola have been rather traditional where local instructors would guide young learners and the teaching methods were not readily available for everybody. Online Bandola teachers are next to non-existent and there are scarce materials for the instrument. There have been some attempts to provide guidance on certain aspects of the instrument, but there has yet to be a course completely dedicated to the Bandola.
It is with great pleasure to present to you Yasuji D’Gucci, an amazing luthier and musician who has gracefully designed this complete course dedicated to the Bandola Llanera. Within this course, you will hear of the name Anslemo Lopez whose efforts have brought a second life to the Bandola as it was close to being a part of forgotten history. This is an instrument that is fundamental for the lowlands of Venezuela and Colombia and can be considered as the bass of the lowlands. Thanks to the efforts of Anslemo Lopez and now because of the efforts of Yasuji D’Gucci, the Bandola, and its teachings will be available for generations to come and will find itself in the hands of musicians across the globe.
