The Marimba is the national instrument of Guatemala. They have evolved many times since first being made with only wood and gourds, and there is a music museum close to Antigua where there are some different variations. It makes a pleasant sound when it is played and they are very typical in musical groups, often with more than 1 marimba. In this picture there is a marimba on the right. This musical family was playing one Sunday afternoon in the street in Antigua.
