got busy with the ancient music,the glottal language, the
imitation of phonex in the language and in the instruments...
found on youtube, ancient mayan music, and John Burkhalter
at Pennsylvania ...all about ethnomusicology of mayans.

Good for you! Which YouTube videos did you like best?

Tamara Safford said...

You tube by John Burkhalter at Pennsylvania Univ. is the most revealing of the two sciences...
the ethnomusicology as well as the art of the Mayan musical composers and instrument
makers...

Thank you!

There are other enticing youtubes that include the clapping sound..I believe I looked up
under the music and how the instruments and music of the Mayans was created.
