Guatemala Vanguard Musician

I was surprised to find out about Joaquin Orellana, a very modern compositor and vanguard instrument maker.

He derived sound devices from the marimba. I'm thinking about jumping in an continuing his cause while in Guate.

To get me started I'm reading "Tradiciones de Guatemala No. 66 Etnomusicologia en Guatemala"
