Fodor's Expert Review Casa K'ojom

K'ojom means "music" in various Mayan languages, and Casa K'ojom---one of the three museums that make up Centro Cultural La Azotea---highlights the musical traditions of Guatemala's vastly diverse indigenous population. An interesting 15-minute documentary film is a good introduction for the newcomer touring the collection of musical instruments and other artifacts. A gift shop sells locally made crafts, simple instruments, and recordings of Guatemalan music.
