Between the Strings Project is deeply committed to preserving and promoting indigenous Mayan musical traditions while integrating them with contemporary music theory. Our primary focus extends to the vibrant communities of El Remate and Ixlu, Guatemala, where we are spearheading flagship projects aimed at celebrating and sustaining these rich cultural legacies.

In El Remate, our flagship project is dedicated to establishing a comprehensive music education program that harmoniously blends Mayan traditions with modern music theory. This initiative celebrates native Mayan instruments through teachings, workshops, and performances, all intricately woven with fundamental principles of music theory. By collaborating with local instructors, renowned musicians, and instrument artisans, we cultivate a vibrant musical community that not only honors the ancient Mayan traditions but also embraces the theoretical underpinnings of music.

Expanding our efforts to Ixlu, we are embarking on a transformative project that seeks to revitalize indigenous Mayan musical traditions while incorporating essential aspects of music theory. This initiative mirrors our endeavors in El Remate, aiming to provide a comprehensive music education program that integrates Mayan musical practices with contemporary theoretical frameworks. Through partnerships with local stakeholders and cultural leaders, we aim to create dynamic hubs for musical exchange and creativity where traditional Mayan melodies intertwine with modern harmonies and rhythms.

Central to our mission in both El Remate and Ixlu is the creation of dynamic centers equipped with cutting-edge studios, sound facilities, and versatile spaces for educational activities, concerts, and cultural events. These centers will serve as platforms for exploring the intricate relationship between Mayan traditions and music theory, offering opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue and artistic innovation.

We're dedicated to working alongside indigenous groups who craft these instruments, envisioning a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation that enriches both communities. Through this fusion, we aim to empower the communities of El Remate and Ixlu, utilizing music as a universal language to bridge cultures and inspire positive change. Join us in our journey to harmonize Mayan traditions with music theory, as we embark on this transformative musical endeavor in Guatemala.
