Event Description:

Balamcoatl presents traditional indigenous music and dance using original pre-Hispanic instruments as well as modern hand-made replicas. In their presentations they use tapestries, traditional dress, jewelry and instrumentation creating a magical, authentic ambience. Balam, meaning jaguar in Maya, and coatl, meaning serpent in Nahuatl, unite to weave Mesoamerican themes into a tapestry of colorful legends, drawing each audience member into the story through participatory song and dance.
