Born in Santiago Chile, Freddy Torrealba began playing music at the age of three. When he was only 13, Torrealba was already performing Café concerts at the Casa Kamarundi cultural centre alongside well-known musicians such as TIWS, Pancho Caucamán, and Nancy and Felo Torrealba. At 15 he took up, and soon mastered, the charango, a small Andean instrument resembling a mandolin or ukulele, and has since become one of the world's premier charango virtuosos.
