Benque Marimba Academy at Xunantunich

Musical interlude.  The Benque Marimba Academy played at the inauguration of the Xunantunich Welcome Center, and the Pandy Show was there to get a great video of one of their songs. 


In related news, the SISE House of Culture is going to start offering marimba lessons.  Contact them for more information. 


"Youths getting into marimba music... The benque house of culture marimba academy was playing at the Xunantunich visitor center."

This video relates to me because the musicians are playing my instrument!

The Xunantuncih Welcome Center Inauguration was this week.  Dr. Jaime Awe, Diane Haylock, and Minister of Tourism, Manuel Heredia, as well as the Benque Marimba Academy, were all there for the ribbon cutting. 


Quite a few Cayo attractions have gotten upgrades over the last couple of years.  ATM got new bathrooms, and Cahal Pech got a new walkway.  Which site will be next?
