Calmamente

Calmamente is from the soundtrack of Qhapaq Ñan — Gustavo Santaolalla’s docuseries about the pre-Columbian ‘Inca road system’, which winds for 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles) through the Andean region. It’s a serene song that exemplifies Santaolalla’s minimalist ability to extract the maximum from a few effortless chord shapes.

(The original is tuned two and a half steps down — where your Low E string becomes a B. The above version is played in standard tuning, and I think it sounds just fine.)
