Maya Music

Tribal Music of Guatemala

Haunting primitive music from the distant past. I journeyed to Guatemala to record and document this fantastic ancient music.

Experience the wonderful Chirimia, a double reed wood flute whose soulful melodies sound like ancient spirits calling from the deep jungle. The Chirimia is accompanied by the deep tun drum (made from a log with skin heads).

This exotic music reflects a fascinating blend of pre-columbian rhythms and sounds. Hear the delightful pituto flute and the marimba tecomate (the world's oldest marimba made with gourds).
