"El Muemar" is a traveling installation designed to promote the marimba to the next generation and foster an appreciation for its sounds. The tent (carpa) has traveled to various town around the country and inside is an exhibition that demonstrates the importance of this musical instrument thru the use of video creations, music, interfacing, and samples of the ancient instruments that inspired and preceded the marimba. Attendees will be taken on a trip through time and geography while learning about the history of this indigenous instrument from Chiapas.
March 15-19 (Tuesday - Saturday) 11-3 and 5-8. Inauguration Tuesday, March 15 at 7p. Free.
El MUEMAR es una instalación itinerante que ha sido diseñada para retomar y promover el fervor por la sonoridad de la marimba a las nuevas generaciones. La carpa que se traslada por varias ciudades de la República, aguarda en su interior una exposición que refleja la importancia de este instrumento mediante de video creaciones, música, interfaces y una muestra de instrumentos inspirados en antiguos precedentes de la marimba.
Lo anterior, permite a los asistentes realizar un viaje geográfico por el tiempo y la historia de este instrumento autóctono de Chiapas.
