with rattles and drums




with rattles and drums
Maya musicians shake and beat
their pulsing rhythms

With their ancient musical instruments -- rattles and drums made from gourds, hollow tree trunks, wooden boxes, seeds and feathers -- the troop of musicians beat a mesmerizing rhythm for the masked dancers.
