Just after 7PM we walked down to the Mayan owned and operated Restaurante Jose Pingüinos for a traditional group dinner. As part of the meal, the owner – Jose, demonstrated the xylophone-type Mayan percussion instrument - the Marimba, how it was constructed and then had his two daughters and a male employee play for us during the meal. With the utmost of respect, the traditional music sounded a lot like a soundtrack that accompanied silent movies or Vaudeville acts of the time.
