Wow, if what he is doing is authentic at all, I see a major connection there with baroque guitar music and ANDES music. Like this stuff:

Hey! This is Big Rab MacKillop! As soon as I heard his voice I knew it was. (Also I thought he must be a pro when I heard him playing.) He's a friend of Jim Opfer and myself and is a member of the Forum, though he doesn't post much these days. He's a great Lute player too!
He let me hear some CDs of early Lute music which sound remarkably Flamenco in places. A couple of years ago he was interested in learning some Flamenco techniques, so I'm not sure if this playing is 100% "as it was written" or Rob's own creation.
cheers,
Ron

i checked out a few other versions of the tune
the strumming seems to be authentic. it kicks alot of ass
it does remind me of charango a little bit

Haha, "takirikusunchis gustumanta!" - we used to play that one!
You're right, Ricardo, there is a connection. The charango is a local adaptation of the baroque guitar, that's where it gets the re-entrant tuning (second string lower than the third) as well as the double strings with the lower ones tuned in octaves.

Here's another one by the same group; if you watch it all the way through, you'll see proof of the baroque-flamenco connection! [;)]

Hold your horses. Of course we all now there's nothing authentic in this video except for the instruments used. It's all pure suggestion.
Nice music though.

We don't all know that. How do you know it? [8|]

Ok, ok, I was wrong. I just had a trip in my time capsule and found out this is exactly how it was played in those days.

The Chinese have a rageo-like strumming on some of their tradition instruments.
I was just watching Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jet Li and there's a girl playing one, I had to rewind it just to check it out. 4 fingered continuous, but a fair bit more delicate.
In this video you can see, at 36 sceonds:
Maybe looks more similar to a mandolin style technique.
