“I’m a musician, you cognize…” informated an entranced Condoleezza Rice piece thrumming the charango - an Andean five-string lacquered guitar - that the Bolivian President of the held simply demonstrated to her.

The juncture was a meeting betwixt the U.S. Secretarial assistant of Province and Evo Esprit de corps, Bolivia’s first autochthonic President, in Valparaiso, Chile.

The demonstration of the guitar no doubt furnished Rice with some light alleviation at the terminal of a 25-minute meeting to discourse drug insurance, part of an operose nine-day diplomatic negotiations trip board Republic of Chile, Dutch East Indies and Commonwealth of Australia.
