A Musicians Benefit for the Hospitalito Atitlan
This CD came about before the October mudslides when a group of local
musicians from Discos Atitlan and
some bands from EvOR,
an independant musicians website decided to try and help the recently inaugurated
Hospitalito Atitlán. When the hospital was destroyed by a mudslide during
the october, 2005 mudslides in Panabaj, this project became a lot more poignant.
The proceeds are now destined for the construction of another hospitalito,
on safer ground. The resulting record is very eclectic and the music fits
together beautifully. This CD is for sale as a digital download directly from us through pay pal. The price is US$6:

The Sacred Teaching Songs of the Maya Tzutujil
The Ancient Mayan Traditions continue through the ages. These songs are used by the Secret Brotherhoods to pass them on.
This CD from our local cooperative Record label, Discos Atitlán, is an
anthropological document from Santiago from
two
of the last tijax bands who are still playing the songs of the earth. Aj
T'zutjilaa and Ixim Acha (Men of Corn) are still playing their music for
the mayan ceremonies and rituals that have been performed here in Santiago
since before the conquest.

The music is based on the ancient "sones" that
are simple melodies associated strictly with a certain deity, historic
shaman, lesson, or folk story that each generation learns 
and interprets
in their own fashion. An explanation of the different tunes is included.
