Almost forty sites of ancient Mayan ruins have been discovered in the Belizean area of the <a href="/wiki/Yucat%C3%A1n_Peninsula" title="Yucatán Peninsula">Yucatán Peninsula</a>. Most of what is known about the music of ancient Maya in Belize has been discovered in the iconographies and artifacts discovered in these sites. In 1986, the excavation of the tombs of two elite Maya women in <a href="/wiki/Pacbitun" title="Pacbitun">Pacbitun</a> revealed a myriad assortment of ancient flutes, rattles, and ceramic drums. The shapes and styles of the flutes found in the tombs suggest that instruments served an important role in Mayan burial. One globular flute, for example, represents a god/religious figure of death. These flutes were also capable of playing several octaves, which suggests melody and tone as a key musical aspect in ancient Maya. </p><p>Much of Mayan culture is sustained through the Maya-Mestizo population. Of the 60% of the <a href="/wiki/Demographics_of_Belize" title="Demographics of Belize">Belize's population</a> with Mayan ancestry, 83% are also of Mestizo/Spanish origins. While little research has been done on the musics of Belize's largest demographic, what is known about contemporary Maya music can be derived from neighboring <a href="/wiki/Guatemala" title="Guatemala">Guatemalan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexican</a> traditions. One possible reason for a lack of knowledge surrounding Mestizo musical history is the lack of potential fieldwork due to the complex demographic populations.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Contemporary Maya-Metstizo music exists in a hybrid form. An example of contemporary Maya music is the traditional flute and drum alongside traditional Spanish instruments like the marimba, violin, and guitar. The K’ekchi harp ensemble is one example of such cultural blending. The origin of the K’ekchi varies depending on the source: Maya communities believe that the K’ekchi harp music was created by the Maya Gods, while others attest that the ensemble is a hybrid creation brought on by the Spaniards as they converted the Maya to Christianity. The K’ekchi primarily plays during Easter and Christmas, which is evidence of Christian influence.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Maya Mestizo culture in north and west Belize, and also <a href="/wiki/Guatemala" title="Guatemala">Guatemala</a>, is characterised by <a href="/wiki/Marimba" title="Marimba">marimba</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Xylophone" title="Xylophone">xylophone</a>-like instrument descended from an African <a href="/wiki/Musical_instrument" title="Musical instrument">instrument</a>.
