about

Released in November, 2008. Music composed and performed on giant marimbas by Mayan Indian schoolchildren from the Seeds of Knowledge School in San Mateo Ixtatan in the mountains of Northern Guatemala, with coaching by Dave Soldier, Alan Kushan, and Rory Young. Some pieces are made by children who don't know the instruments, and used musical games to compose pieces that sound a bit like American minimalism and a hiphop tune in Chuj, the local Mayan language: others are very accomplished players who play the traditional repertoire.
