It is not completely Spanish, however, because both the cultures of rural Guatemala are the result of the confrontation over several centuries of two very different civilizations, the indigenous Mayan, and the Western, introduced by the Spanish in the 16th century.

"La música que se presenta en este álbum es típica de la Guatemala rural. Muchos de los habitantes de esta área son indios descendientes de los Mayas, pero también se pueden encontrar "ladinos" casi en todo el país rural guatemalteco, es decir, personas de diversos orígenes étnicos que hablan castellano en sus casas y han adoptado las costumbres ladinas, principalmente españolas. No completamente, porque ambas culturas de la Guatemala rural son el resultado de una confrontación de varios siglos entre civilizaciones muy diferentes, la Maya y la occidental, introducida por los españoles en el siglo XVI. Ambas culturas han tomado algunos rasgos de la otra, y esto no puede ser más evidente en ningún otro sitio que es su música, que es una mezcla de elementos europeos, indígenas y quizá también africanos..."

What Charters discovers, however, is one of the country’s greatest ballad singers and in the process recorded several examples of the dying art of Bahamian three-part contrapuntal singing, as on “Pytoria (Run, Come See Jerusalem)” or “A Great Day is Coming”.

Rabinal Achi is one of the few pre-Columbian literary works to survive the Conquest, a tragic story of epic proportions that, like other pre-Hispanic dramas, employed song, dance, mime, masks and declamation.
Baile de las Canastas (Dance of the Baskets) celebrates the change from a semi-nomadic hunters’ society to an agricultural civilization. Today it is performed as a series of set scenes using masks, dance, music, dialogue, and mime. The performance takes its name from the tall baskets worn by the dancers.
Producido y grabado por Henrietta Yurchenco. El Rabinal Achi es uno de los pocos textos literarios precolombinos que sobrevivió a la Conquista, una historia de proporciones épicas que, como otros dramas prehispánicos, emplea canciones, danza, mímica, máscaras y declamación.
El baile de las canastas, por su parte, celebra el cambio de una sociedad de cazadores seminómadas a una civilización basada en la agricultura. Está compuesto por una serie de escenas que emplean máscaras, música, danza, y diálogos. El baile toma su nombre de las canastas que usan en la cabeza los participantes.
