Marimba Antigua

Marimba Antigua is a group steeped in the rich musical traditions of the marimba, an instrument synonymous with the cultural heart of Guatemala and southern Mexico. The ensemble's repertoire showcases a deep reverence for the traditional sounds of their homeland, while simultaneously stretching the boundaries of the marimba's expressive capabilities. Through albums like "Latidos De Alegria" and "A La Antiguita," they preserve the vibrant, rhythmic heartbeat that characterizes their nation's folkloric music, often focusing on pieces that incite joy and celebration.

Their body of work illustrates a dedicated craftsmanship, bringing classics to life with albums such as "Las Clasicas De La Marimba" and enchanting audiences with intricate instrumental narratives as heard in "Boleros en Marimba Pura (Instrumental)." With "80 Años de Vida Musical," Marimba Antigua celebrates a significant milestone, reflecting on a legacy of musical influence and contribution. "Recuerdos Inolvidables" and "Caminos De Mi Pueblo" paint musical landscapes filled with nostalgia and the beauty of rural life, while releases like "Cuidado Con La Cola" and "Pura Marimba" demonstrate their capacity for playful and engaging melodies. As custodians of a centuries-old tradition, Marimba Antigua acts as both preserver and innovator within the realm of Central American music, capturing the essence of the marimba's wooden tones and resonant charm in each performance and recording.
