To the two marimba groups, here presented, we owe the most beautiful old tunes from the state of Oaxaca. The first one is a group of eight men playing on a very large marimba, nearly four meters long. The second group we discovered in a little hut in the outskirts of Oaxaca. Their instrument is small, hardly one meter and a half, and is played by three men. This small marimba has a very special sound, vibrating in an extremely moving way, and itgives a wonderful savor to the languid, sweet music of Oaxaca... Lilian Mendelssohn.
