[Pearls2256]

The death flute scared the living laylights out of me. lol it sounded like a woman screaming. I'm from Monterrey NL and I'm looking at all the different natives that are from Mx I don't really know what I am except that I'm Spaniard but other that that I don't know. I would like to know what tribe of Indian I could be. I'm gonna keep looking. Wish me luck! ^_^

The Zapotec/Mayan/Aztecs were so amazingly skilled.  If they really made these, and they sounded like this, that is outstanding. I am currently studying Mesoamerican History and plan to focus on this once I graduate college here in America.

I love this music Over all!!!!!!!!! It's like my heart dances with my mind and my soul feels at peace. Idk it's a strange but beautiful feeling it's like if the sound traveled through my veins. Even the death wistle makes me feel like if it's the beginning of something mysterious. I could feel what my ears hear with this music. I wish I could just hear and feel it for ever it's such a beautiful trans it sends me through I feel like I breath and taste the sound waves. U probably think I'm a we

I hear this music and it's like my soul starts to dance my heart slows down and my mind clears up and goes into a peaceful trans.

I know it's weird it's like I connect with the universe in some way. It's so weird but sooooo soothing. I sound like a crazy but f*ck i dnt care it's true. Does any one feel like this? I've felt this with this kind of music since I could remember.

@aztec005, if you speak spanish , then you already speak some nahuatl......

Take these words for instance...

Elote/ Elotl

Chocolate / Chokolatl

Mecate / Mekatl

Escuincle / Izkuintli

so on and so forth

@Pearls2256 In Mexico we are so mixed that chances are you're a little bit of all the different tribes and nations that have ever existed in your region. I'm from Jalisco and folk here have been intermixing since before the Spanish came to throw Spanish and Arab into the mix of Nahuatl, Zapotec, Tecuexe, Huichol, Purepecha etc...

I was very interested in Aztec culture when I was around 8 (I knew almoast everything I could). After 10 years, after watching Avatar this passion seems to return.
