What does the music of this culture sound like?
A typical Aztec song includes lots of wind instruments, rattles and other percussion instruments so it would probably be pretty deep.
What instruments are used?
The Aztecs used drums, shakers, rattles, clay flutes, conch shell trumpets and many other wind and percussion instruments.
What social function does the music serve (entertainment, religious ceremony, etc.)?
As stated by the Pacific Lutheran University, “Every aspect and ideal that was behind the songs and instruments had a religious beat to it, as well as some political spicing.”
Who performs it?
Children ages 12 to 15 were taught to sing and dance in ceremonies.
