Ozomatli records with Apogee ONE

While beginning to work on their new record with producer Tony Berg, six-piece Los Angeles based group, Ozomatli, took time to record with Apogees brand new USB music interface, ONE. Within 2 hours time, Ozomatli wrote, arranged, and recorded an entire song using only a Mac, GarageBand, a single external mic and ONE. The guitar, conga, tambourine, and even the keyboard (micing the keyboards built in speaker) were all recorded using ONEs internal condenser microphone. The bass and Requinto guitar were recorded direct, using ONEs 1/4 Hi-Z instrument input. Taking advantage of ONEs 65 dB microphone preamp, the vocals were recorded via a standard dynamic mic into the XLR input. Shortly after this session the group hit the road, now each equipped with a ONE and a Mac laptop in order to continue pre-production for the new record.

Nice. Does that thing have a built-in mic? I didn't see a mic on the conga.

I so want one of these! Does anyone know what the first type of guitar played is called? I counted 5 strings but there are 8 machine heads on the head stock, so I'm assuming some of them are 'doubled' like on a mandolin/12 string guitar?
