Concert by Xochimoki

Description:

Xochimoki—the duo of Jim Berenholtz and Mazatl Galindo—performed selections from their second self-produced cassette, New Music, Ancient Sources. This collection features original compositions performed on pre-Columbian Mesoamerican instruments, including log and turtle-shell drums, gourd and conch shell trumpets, ocarinas, seed rattles, cane flutes, and one-string musical bows.

Presented as part of the concert series Strings.

Audio documentation is available upon request.

Seen in black and white, the duo Xochimoki performs with musical instruments, surrounded by native weaving and other instruments. One performer stands in the background playing a long drum with mallets, while the other stands on one leg, shaking maracas. Both wear native attire, with horns and antlers appearing from their temples.
