Culture & Music of Guatemala with a Vibrant Marimba Concert.

The Ottawa and Gatineau Guatemalan Association (OGGA)is proud to present this nationally recognized Guatemalan group as they play in Ottawa for the first time.

Guatemalan music stems from the culture of the Maya people, and has been modified by Spanish and West African

influences. The Marimba is similar to the xylophone and is Guatemala's national instrument, and is used to play a variety of kinds of music, including both local folk and internationally well-known and sophisticated popular music.
