Quick Overview

The Tarahumara use violins, flutes and drums for their religious ceremonies and festival dances. Violins were introduced to the Tarahumara by the Spanish missionaries in the 1600's. Since then, the Tarahumara have been hand carving these instruments.



A talented Tarahumara musician is believed capable of communicating with divine beings and able to request good fortune from them.
