Ensembles of harp, violin and guitar, often with singing in Tzotzil, accompany the religious officials (cargo holders) at saints' fiestas and household rites, while cane flutes and drums lead processions and carnival. The 1975 Folkways albums Modern Mayan: The Indian Music of Chiapas, Mexico (FE 4377 and FE 4379) document the repertoire. The harpa card, a diatonic folk harp, stands in for the Chamula harp, and generic flute and drum cards for the procession flute and drum.", "recipe": "classic mid-1970s tzotzil and tzeltal fiesta music, ritual Devotional, indigenous branch. solo with instrumental accompaniment, single lead single track no stacking. fiddle, harpa, parlor acoustic guitar, flute like credited flute unspecified, membrane drum pulse resonant acoustic membrane drum. field recording.
