Mexica Instrument Experience

Discover the sounds, stories, and rhythms of pre-Hispanic instruments native to Mexico. Through a live performance and teach-in, we'll explore the history, uses, and cultural significance of these instruments, including where they appear in ancient codices. Then step in and be part of the music during an open jam. Because at the end of the day, this music was always a community thing. Everyone danced, everyone sang. Magdiel Ilhuikatekpatl Esai is a musician, producer, and danzante creating music with ancestral instruments and sounds. He holds a Bachelor's in Music and a Master's in Entrepreneurship from CU Denver, and has spent the last 5 years studying these instruments and blending them with modern production. This is part of the November Speaker Series at the Aurora History Museum. Tickets are $5 for adults, $1 for kids and free for members of the Aurora History Museum.
