 Xochimoki's
new CD, "Land of the Feathered Serpent" has over an hourof
music performed on ancient Aztek and Mayan instruments. It has been
compiled from the best of our recordings in the 1980's, previously
only available on cassette. It also includes music that was created
for an animated film by Patricia Amlin entitled "Popol Vuh
- The Creation Myth of the Maya" (1990) that has aired many
times on PBS. All of the music has been re-edited and digitally
remastered, and some here-to-fore unreleased music is also part
of this release.
The
CD, booklet, and covers are illustrated with original artwork based
on pre-Columbian motifs. The highly informative booklet is in both
English and Spanish, and includes a Nahuatl and Mayan glossary of
terms .
Titles
of various tracks on the CD refer to ancient Mayan ceremonial centers,
sacred Aztek volcanoes, cosmologies and cultural traditions of the
native peoples of Mesoamerica. The music was inspired through the
living experience of connection to these cultural/spiritual roots. |

QUETZAL:
Music from the Heart of Maya |
 |
|
Primal
music created for dance ritual and inner voyaging. Ancient Mayan
and Aztec clay flutes are combined with indigenous Andean instruments
such as the panpipes, kena, and charango. Together with sonorous
bass bamboo flutes, conch shell trumpets, and distant voices chanting
resonant tones, the effect is deeply hypnotic. The compositions
are based on the cosmologies of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent,
bringer of arts and knowledge to all humanity. This recording celebrates
his return.

are interfaced with uplifting songs using voice, guitar, piano,
and South American flutes. Titles like “Vision Quest”,
“Elemental Dance”, and “Dreamseeker” are
sung with moving words about the direct experience of divinity in
nature. Eclectic and full of vitality, this music is ideal for those

Hemisphere.
