  • Muchas gracias!

  • Gracias, In lak ech!

  • Thanks!

  • This instrument is called Hom Ta, or Mayan Trumpet. They were made from very long gourds or as you see in the video, from a length of bamboo with a gourd attached at the end. The Kukulkan or feathered serpent design is my own idea for dramatic effect. You can see Mayan musicians depicted playing the Hom Ta on the murals of Bonampak.

  • In lak ech!

  • Thank you! let the music take you on an inward journey!
