Default The ancient Mesoamerican
Very little is known for certain about music on the pre-Columbian American continent. The ancient Mesoamerican civilizations of the Mayas and the Aztecs played instruments including the tlapitzalli (flute), the teponatzli (wooden drum), a kind of trumpet made of conch shell, various types of rattles and rasps, and the huehuetl (timpani). ). The first writings of the Spanish colonizers indicated that Aztec music was entirely religious, and was performed by professional musicians; some instruments were considered sacred, and errors in the execution of these were punished for possibly being an offense to the gods.

Some pictorial representations indicate that performance in ensembles was quite common. Similar instruments are found among the Incas, who had as youtube video downloader instruments a wide variety of ocarinas and panpipes. The Mapuche kültrún is also a pre-Columbian instrument; with which the loncomeo is played (originally Tehuelche rhythm adopted by the Mapuches-Tehuelches); This rhythm is a folkloric rhythm from Argentina, especially from the Argentine Patagonia.
