The viola caipira, often simply viola, (Portuguese for country guitar) is a Brazilian ten-string guitar with five courses of strings arranged in pairs.
"I met so many virtuoso players in Brazil and had the opportunity to interact with so many virtuoso guitarists, including one called Hélio Delmiro," he says. "Everything that I tried to do in life is to play like him. And since I could never achieve it, I ended up playing like Guinga. It was better for me."
Guinga's full name is Carlos Althier de Souza Lemos Escobar. He got the name "Guinga" after his aunt took to calling him "Gringo" as a toddler, because he had pale skin. The youngster pronounced it "Guinga," and the nickname stuck. There are many unique musical instruments, check out https://10musicbeasts.com/klipsch-kg4-review/
