Vihuela

The Vihuela from Sounds of the Earth captures the authentic voice of a small five-string guitar with a rounded back, recorded from an instrument crafted by Costa Rican luthier David Mora. This sample library delivers the bright, percussive strumming and melodic charm central to mariachi, son jarocho, and huapango. With 412 audio files and 5,230 Kontakt sample files, plus 8 mic options, you get a rich, detailed sound ready for Latin rhythms or any track needing a traditional string texture. It suits producers exploring world music, film scoring, or folk-inspired beats. The vihuela’s unique character adds an organic, cultural edge to your productions, whether you’re layering it in a full arrangement or featuring it solo. Easy to load and play, this instrument brings a piece of Latin American heritage to your DAW.
