When marimba rhythms start to play

The marimba is the national instrument of Guatemala. This is a short video of the marimba group at the Hotel Posada in Antigua. Their instruments were made of ants wood. It was around the corner from our table in the restaurant, but the kids slept through the music. However, while we were waiting for our shuttle driver, I was 'swaying' with with Addi around the courtyard to one of their songs.

This is a marimba/xylophone made with jade keys at the Jade, S.A. factory.
