Harpist Mark Hammer playing the Paraguayan harp.   If you want to know more about the harp and the tune he’s playing, he includes a fairly detailed write-up about both here.

Interesting point of trivia: Apparently on Paraguayan harps the C strings are blue, and the F strings are red, the opposite of other harps. Could make things very confusing for us lever harp players!
