Mejoranera
The mejorana is a folkloric Chordophone from Panama. It is carved from one block of wood (usually cedar〔http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/18295?q=mejoranera&search=quick&pos=1&_start=1#firsthit〕) or from dry fibers of Bejuco, and is shaped like a small guitar. It has five nylon, horse hair, or gut strings.〔http://www.atlasofpluckedinstruments.com/central_america.htm〕〔(The Stringed Instrument Database )〕 The mejorana is tuned in either an e'-b-a-a'-d' (by 2) or an e'-b-g-g'-d' (by 6) sequence 〔 A mejoranera player is called a ''mejoranero'' or ''mejoranera'' depending if it is a male or female player. Typically this instrument is played only by men.
== History ==
The first Spanish conquistadors arrived on the isthmus of Panama in the early part of the sixteenth century, in which sailors brought a style of tap dance known to them as "zapateo", now known as "mejorana" dance, which includes this instrument.〔
〕 The mejorana is similar to a guitar but slightly smaller and with a shorter neck; this is due to the relation of the baroque guitar that was brought over from Europe.
It first appeared at the town of La Mesa in Veraguas, but is now popular in all central provinces, Veraguas, Herrera and Los Santos, and the most representative musical instrument of this country.
