The marimba’s popularity in Honduras is thought to have spread from Guatemala, where it was brought by African slaves. This tune combines a marimba with the more modern accordion. The buzzing sound is made by the resonators of the marimba, which hang below the wooden keys and are covered by a vibrating membrane. The sique heard here is a popular couple dance with the tempo of a fast waltz.
