Summary
[edit]DescriptionFlauta de carrizo Carrizo (acatl) Pech flute Honduras.JPG |
English: Made by Pech craftman Hernan Martínez Escobar, co-author of Los Pech de Honduras, who lives in Moradel, Trujillo, Colon. Made of carrizo, a bamboo like plant which only grows above 1,500 feet. A special kind of black wax made by the same bees which make miel de blanco, the best kind of medicinal honey and who only live in forests is also needed to make this kind of flute. Although this is a Pech flute, similar flutes were made in Honduras by the Miskito Indians, the Tawahka Indians, and the Lenca indians. The Pech also previously made jaguar bone flutes. One flute is supposed to sound like pavon and the other the pajuil, both rainforest birds. The bee, the carrizo, the pavon, the pajuil, and music that sounds like the pavon and pajuil are all in danger of extinction. This was the first example of a Pech carrizo flute made in 20 years. This flute is in the collection of the Burke Museum, along with the other instruments needed to play at a Pech religious ceremony maracas and a Pech drum. The mountains above the Pech villages of Olancho are called the Sierra de Agalta, which comes from acalta, in Nahua (agalta in Nicarao dialect of Nahua) or carrizal, a place of a lot of carrizo cane. |
