A few days ago I read a review on the NY Times website of a Brazilian movie called "Bacurau." It's set in a small, backwater Brazilian town, far from anywhere, and looks like an interesting flick.
Below is a still photo from the movie.
Do any of you have any idea what the instrument the guy in the front of the funeral procession is playing might be?
I know that the Brazilians have nylon string resonator guitars - Chet Atkins was kind of a champion for them and used them on some recordings. But I was hoping that someone with some background in Brazilian music might have an idea of what, exactly, this instrument is called when it's in this ten string configuration and how it's tuned.
Thanks in advance if you can tell us anything.
