Marimba Linda Xelaju performs traditional Guatemalan marimba. Speaker Biography: Marimba Linda Xelaju is family group that honors both tradition and innovation in its interpretation of the Guatemalan marimba. In Guatemala, playing the marimba has traditionally been a male pursuit. But Robert Giron has chosen to share his love and knowledge of the marimba with his daughters as well as his son, and the cherished music of his homeland today continues within a new context and community. In 1995, Giron had a beautifully ornate marimba hand-built in Guatemala by Nojobel Salazar, and brought it to the United States. The whole family plays this fine instrument at once. Robert Sr. and his son Robert play treble. His daughters Beverly and Jennifer play melody and harmony. Marimba Linda Xelaju has performed extensively throughout the Washington DC area venues including the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the Museum of the American Indian, and at the National Zoo.

The music here was recorded live at Comalapa, Guatemala. Most of the music is Mayan and it is worth watching just to hear the sounds. I would have filmed the entire 2.5 hours they played but I was low on film.

Filmed in Antigua Guatemala, Central America, during March 2008, but this group of Maya musicians (a whole family) is often in the Calle del Arco on Sundays around midday to early afternoon. Well worth seeing!
