The project
Together with Universidad del Valle, Fundadela held a concert-workshop on Maya instruments attended by university students, several schools and the general public.
Why it matters
Instruments of Maya origin, such as the tun drum, the chirimía, ocarinas and conch shells, are still present in the ceremonies and festivities of many communities. Outside them they are little known. A concert-workshop lets people hear them, understand how they are built and see their place in Guatemalan music today.
