A depiction of centuries of area evolutionary musical history is reflected upon by this famous musician as he contemplates the stone carved Mayan serpent he rests foot upon.

Drums, Indian drums! Here is one of the oldest authentic Mayan musical instruments made from the iron hard wood of the zapote tree that provided the ancients with fruit, rubber, shade and enduring wood. Made from a solid tree trunk and hollowed out by hand using no power tools or even steel this ingenious musical instrument emits a number of different resonating tones. The museum even provides rubber tipped drum sticks so that you may try your hand at making music in the earliest Mayan way.
The “Museo de la Canción Yucateca” features numerous video presentations coupled with photos, paintings and artifacts that help tell a unique and very fascinating story you will not want to miss.
