Imagine the ancient pulse of percussion instruments – drums, flutes, and the conch, a traditional Mexican musical instrument and ancestor to the trumpet – these are the echoes of Mexico’s indigenous past. Modern Mexican folk music retains this raw energy and rhythm, yet it has gracefully evolved, incorporating instruments like the guitar.
