The Tañedores project is an innovative project in Russia, which
aims to bring together a variety of early plucked string instruments
into one ensemble.
In modern Spanish, the word tañedor is used to describe a
musician who plays a number of different string or percussion
instruments. The term is derived from the old Spanish word tañe
(to touch).
Pues, Juan, tañe: "Well, Juan, touch it!”
In a certain Spanish Renaissance comedy, the caballero addresses these
words to the guitarist – tañedor – before asking his lady to
dance the contrapaso.
