Pitchfork described Goes West as "a stunning meditation on the American landscape, both real and imagined. “ Through his work, Tyler has carved a distinctive niche within the instrumental music world, drawing comparisons to guitar greats like John Fahey and Leo Kottke. His newest record, Time Indefinite, was released by Psychic Hotline in spring of 2025. In this episode, recorded live at the Big Ears Festival in March of 2025, he talks about how songs by Scott Joplin, The Troggs, and Popol Vuh were formative for him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Los arqueólogos han bautizado como ‘Los Abuelos' a la ciudad maya que acaban de descubrir en Guatemala. Podría tratarse de un importante centro político y ceremonial de comienzos de la cultura maya asentada en lo que hoy es el norte del territorio del país centroamericano. RFI habló con la codirectora del equipo. “Encontramos un sitio de características muy tempranas o antiguas de alrededor del 800 años antes de Cristo”, dice a Radio Francia Internacional, Dora García, codirectora del proyecto arqueológico regional Uaxactún que logró el importante hallazgo en el departamento guatemalteco del Petén, cerca de México.La arqueóloga detalla, como parte de este descubrimiento, varios monumentos esculpidos con rasgos de inicio de la cultura maya en el Petén, y un centro monumental que sería la primera ciudad en esta región. Pero, subraya, lo más importante del descubrimiento fueron ‘Los Abuelos'.‘Sobre una plataforma, en el área central del sitio, se identificaron dos esculturas, una masculina y una femenina, de aproximadamente más de un metro de altura. Una es la escultura de una viejita sentada que nosotros hemos denominado ‘La abuela' y el masculino, por ende, le hemos denominado “El abuelo' porque hacen referencia a los ancestros. Y la gente local, espontáneamente, empezó a llamar al sitio ‘a donde están los abuelos', cuenta la experta.Figuras similares a los abuelos han sido encontradas en otros descubrimientos arqueológicos del pasado, como una viejita en La Venta del área Olmeca (considerada la primera civilización del continente americano, dada su antigüedad de más de 3000 años).“Hay otra pareja de esculturas en Uaxactún, en un área que también fue dedicada a ceremonias por las evidencias de vasijas quebradas y otras ofrendas que se encontraron al pie de las esculturas. También los estamos relacionando con el Popol Vuh, donde hay una pareja de abuelos originarios, precisamente de ancestros”.El estudio comparado de las esculturas de “Los abuelos' de Petén con estos hallazgos anteriores es clave para la investigación del equipo que lidera la antropóloga.“Estamos investigando estas dos esculturas como parte de un ritual, resalta García, un área ritual asociada precisamente al culto a los ancestros, a los progenitores del inicio del linaje de este sitio. Es un hallazgo muy importante porque estamos hablando de que pudo ser un centro político y ceremonial de inicios de la cultura maya en esta área.”Y cuando le preguntamos sobre lo que más la sorprende de este último hallazgo, nos dice: “Lo que se puede comparar con otras regiones, por ejemplo, la iconografía de los monumentos con imágenes grabadas. Los signos y los símbolos grabados son muy similares, por ejemplo, a los que encontramos en Kaminaljuyú, en Naranjo, en el altiplano de Guatemala. Las estelas de ranas encontradas, unos las asocian con los altares de ranas de piedra halladas en la región de la Costa y en Kaminaljuyú. Encontrar este tipo de cosas en el Petén me llama mucho la atención para establecer relaciones a nivel regional, es decir, que durante la misma época estaban produciendo el mismo tipo de esculturas, las mismas ideas en cuanto a iconografía”.Los Mayas fueron una de las más importantes civilizaciones prehispánicas de América, se expandieron en territorios que actualmente ocupan el sur de México, Guatemala, Belice, El Salvador y Honduras, y su existencia se remonta a por lo menos el 2.000 A.C. Desarrollaron un avanzado sistema numérico y de escritura jeroglífica. Crearon también un famoso calendario que todavía asombra a arqueólogos y astrónomos. Y nos legaron el cultivo del maíz y del cacao.Un 42% de los 18 millones de guatemaltecos pertenecen a las etnias que existen en el país de origen maya y muchos viven bajo condiciones de pobreza.

Desde las faldas del Poás, donde el viento arrastra ecos de tiempos antiguos, nace una melodía que perfora el tejido de lo convencional. Un canto que no tiene dueño, atravesando sueños y ruinas, un tambor que lleva el ritmo en los huesos de quienes aún recuerdan cómo era danzar sin cadenas. Este episodio no es una charla ni un intercambio de ideas; es un viaje febril entre la bruma y el fuego, donde las palabras y los ritmos son puñales dulces que cortan la piel de lo instituido. Aquí no se narran historias; se convocan visiones. Rialengo como guía , los apuntes incisivos de David Monge y Fabián González, logramos desenterramos los hilos invisibles que conectan el tambor ancestral con el perreo esquinero, el Popol Vuh con los beats africanos, la música con el poder. Este es un llamado para quienes están hartos de la misma canción, de las narrativas impostadas, del arte domesticado. Aquí se piensa y se perrea. Se canta y se pelea. Se siembra y se baila sobre los escombros de los paradigmas. La música, como un río subterráneo, fluye, arrastra los sedimentos de lo que fuimos y lo que somos. En ella habita la resistencia de los cuerpos que bailan a pesar de las prohibiciones, de las gargantas que cantan aunque las llamen vulgares. Desde la cumbia proscrita en los salones, hasta el swing que alguna vez fue pecado, las historias de estos ritmos son las de una lucha incesante por existir fuera de los márgenes impuestos. Nos adentramos en las grietas de un sistema que usa antenas como cadenas y melodías como grilletes, mientras hablamos del blanqueamiento de lo popular, de los ritmos que debieron ocultarse en la penumbra hasta que la élite los reclamara como propios. Pero este episodio no trata solo de denunciar; es una invitación a bailar, a resistir, a recordar que en cada golpe de tambor y cada paso de baile hay un grito de libertad. Atención, oyentes eléctricos: esto no es un playlist, es un manifiesto. Un rito para invocar las verdades que se esconden en cada acorde y para honrar las historias que el ritmo lleva en sus venas. Aquí se canta para vivir y se baila para no olvidar.

At the end of the ancient mythology section we discussed last time, the Popol Vuh (here paralleled by the Title of Totonicapán) depicts the restoration of militaristic class society in the K'iche' corner of the Maya world in the 13th c. CE, after some centuries of relative freedom and equality following the overthrow of the Classic Maya around 950. The founders of the new ruling class are an itinerant, mountain-dwelling secret society who begin their attack on the stateless, classless society around them by prosecuting a covert campaign of ritual serial murder. For perhaps obvious reasons, this passage seems practically untouched in modern scholarship—the most recent English translation of Popol Vuh silently cuts it entirely!—but we of the Kingless Generation have all the right tools to make sense of it in our own little way: the immortal science of historical materialism, the anthropological theories of Brian Hayden regarding the roots of ruling classes in secret society religion, and leftist parapolitics research on Fort Bragg, Marc DuTroux, the Atlanta child murders, and many other modern instances of ritualized abuse and murder for which good evidence exists for the involvement of a wider network of Euro-American military, intelligence, and high bourgeois elements.

The Popol Vuh, written in 1702, was based on a Mayan oral tradition encompassing creation myths, history, and cosmology. These stories were written in a time of crisis: European colonialism had decimated the Mayan population and destroyed much of their cultural knowledge. How do stories help a society survive and thrive? Can they console us in times of crisis? How much of a culture can historians save in times of devastation?

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez en lo que hoy es yucatan una princesa llamada Ixquic que era hija de un señor maya llamado Cuchumaquic. Cierto día mientras Cuchumaquic paseaba con su hija por los amplios jardines adyacentes a los templos mayas le contó a su hija que en el inframundo había una árbol que se decía producía unos extraños frutos. Al oír esto la joven pregunto.  Puedo ir yo a ver ese árbol. Seguro que sus frutos deben ser muy sabrosos. El padre inmediatamente le dijo que le estaba prohibido visitar el inframundo y comer de dichos frutos.  Pero la joven Ixquic quedo maravillada de la historia y secretamente hizo nacer un deseo en su corazón de desobedecer a su padre y viajar por ella misma a conocer el árbol y sus frutos.  Una noche, oculta por la oscuridad de la luna nueva Ixquic salió de su palacio y emprendió camino sola hacia el inframundo al que llamaban Pucbalchah. Allí asombrada llego a al pie del misterioso árbol. .— ¡Ah!, dijo , ¡qué frutos tan extraños produce este árbol. No visto otros igual en las tierras de mi padre. Y cuantos tiene en sus ramas. Que me sucedería si cojo uno de ellos. Acaso podría morir.  De pronto una voz que venia de dentro del árbol le respondió. —¿Qué es lo que quieres joven princesa? Estos objetos que vez en las ramas de los arboles no son frutos son calaveras. Dime que deseas.  La joven replico. Deseo los frutos.  Seguro replico de nuevo el árbol . — Sí los deseo—, contestó Ixquic.— Muy bien—, dijo la calavera  que le hablaba . Extiende hacia acá tu mano derecha.— De acuerdo— replicó la joven, y con movimientos tembloroeos levantando su mano derecha y la extendió hacia el árbol.En ese instante la calavera que le hablaba  escupió y la saliva cayó directamente en la palma de la mano de la joven princesa  Ixquic. Y luego le dijo. En mi saliva y mi baba te he dado mí descendencia (dijo la voz en el árbol). Ahora mi cabeza ya no tiene nada encima, no es más que una calavera despojada de la carne. Así es la cabeza de los grandes príncipes, la carne es lo único que les da una hermosa apariencia. Y cuando mueren los hombres se espantan a causa de los huesos. Así es también la naturaleza de los hijos, que son como la saliva y la baba, ya sean hijos de un Señor, de un hombre sabio o de un orador. Su condición no se pierde cuando se van, sino se hereda; no se extingue ni desaparece la imagen del Señor, del hombre sabio o del orador, sino que la dejan en  sus hijas y en hijos que engendran. Esto mismo he hecho yo contigo. Sube, pues, a la superficie de la tierra, que no morirás. Confía en mi palabra que así será, dijo la cabeza de Hun-Hunahpú  Cuando Ixquic regresó a su casa, supo que se había quedado embarazada inmediatamente por haber estado en contacto con la saliva de la calavera Llegó, pues, la joven a su casa y después de haberse cumplido seis meses, fue advertido su estado por su padre, el llamado Cuchumaquic. Al instante fue descubierto el secreto de la joven por el padre, y mando a llamar el consejo de señores de xibalba. Diciendoles. .   —Mi hija está preñada; ha sido deshonrada—, exclamó Cuchumaquic cuando compareció ante los Señores.—Está bien—, dijeron estos. Oblígala a declarar la verdad, y si se niega a hablar, ca

In this episode, we delve into the rich mythology of the K'iche' Maya Kingdom of Highland Guatemala through the Popol Vuh, an ancient text that narrates the creation myth and the epic tales of two hero twins, Hunahpu (Blow-gun Hunter) and Xbalanque (Young Hidden/Jaguar-Sun).

The first half of the Popol Vuh as we have it from the Kʾicheʾ colonial tradition is a quintessentially Kingless epic, as the story revolves around pre-human gods, successive generations of hero twins, who must defeat a series of aggrandizer figures, including the lords of death in the underworld, in order to bring about the dawning of the human age. Although the same basic story can be found in earlier art and hieroglyphic inscriptions which since the 1990s are being deciphered at an exhilarating pace, recent research has pointed out that this anti-accumulative tendency of the story may be somewhat unique to the Popol Vuh as we have it, which, it is hypothesised, may represent a retelling slanted toward anti-colonial resistance. While I agree that this may also be the case, I (based on my limited understanding as an ignorant outsider) think it might make even more sense to take this story, written down only some thirty years after first European contact, as faithfully reflecting older layers, though perhaps not of the somewhat exploitative and stratified Classic Maya (ca 250–950 CE) but rather of the socially creative, decentralized, and egalitarian Postclassic Maya (950–1539), which represents one of the great examples in world history of the deescalation of class struggle, when people came together to build the Kingless Generation.

Sí, al primer volumen de cuentos que publicó Augusto Monterroso lo llamó "Obras completas (y otros cuentos)" (Alianza). No se confundan con el título  porque fue su debut literario, pero qué debut. Ahí estaba su mítico cuento "El dinosaurio", el más corto de la historia, siete palabras "Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí".  También había otros cuentos míticos en esta primera aparición literaria del escritor guatemalteco: "Vacas", "Mr Taylor" u "Obras completas", que no es un todo, sino sólo un cuento. De Augusto Monterroso hemos hablado con Leticia Sánchez Ruiz , autora de "Fragmentos del mapa del tesoro: la biblioteca personal de Augusto Monterroso" (Pez de Plata). En 2008 la viuda de Monterroso, Bárbara Jacob, donó la biblioteca personal del escritor a la Universidad de Oviedo, y allí están para el que la quiera visitar con sus nueve mil volúmenes y sus cinco toneladas de peso. Y la genialidad de Leticia Sánchez ha sido convertirse en una especie de detective entre los libros de Monterroso y contarnos sus preferencias, sus subrayados, sus manías, sus correcciones, lo consejos que dejaba en los márgenes de los libros, sus rectificaciones de malas traducciones. Es tan maravilloso que llega un momento que crees que Monterroso es un personaje de una novela escrita por Leticia Sánchez Ruiz. Además de Monterroso han entrado en la Biblioteca hoy por hoy los libros que Antonio Martínez Asensio ha relacionado con la actualidad: "Obra maestra" de Juan Tallón (Anagrama) por l muerte de Richard Serra, y por las fechas de Semana Santa, ha entrado por primera vez "La Santa Biblia" (Editorial San Pablo)  y  "El testamento de María" de Colm Toibin (Lumen) . La invitada, Leticia Sánchez Ruiz, ha donado tres libros en nombres de Augusto Monterroso: "El ingenioso hidalgo D. Quijote de la Mancha" de Miguel de Cervantes (Alfaguara), "Popol Vuh" Anónimo (Alianza Editorial) y "Obras completas" de Jorge Luis Borges (Emecé). Las novedades que hoy ha traído el empleado de la biblioteca Pepe Rubio han sido "La península de las casas vacías" de David Uclés (Siruela) y "Las bestias" de Gijs Wilbrink (Bunkerbooks). Pascual Donate  ha rescatado de la redacción el libro "De guerra en guerra: de 1914 a Ucrania" del filósofo francés Edgar Morin (Popular). Por último Antonio Martínez Asensio ha incorporado la novela que protagonizará su programa "Un libro , una hora", "Mi Antonia " Willa Cather (Alba). Y nos quedan los oyentes que han sumado: 'Tea Rooms: Mujeres obreras', de Luisa Carnés. 'Tengo miedo torero', de Pedro Lemebel y 'Mi amiga brillante', de Elena Ferrante.

In their attempts to convert the native peoples of the Americas to Christianity, Catholic missionaries destroyed many elements of preHispanic cultures, including their books. The mayan culture in particular had hundreds, if not thousands, of books and documents concerning mythology, astronomy, history and religion. Thankfully, one person thought to record this information and hid it. That book, El Popol Vuh, was found and preserved by a sympathetic friar. Today you can even read it online.This story is told in the third person and the past tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “códice” (codex/ancient text), “fray” (friar), “lengua” (language/tongue), and “lo” (it).No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.

Today's guests make me appreciate the patience of others. Please welcome, for the third attempt, Andre and Terence from Locrian. What you're listening to is our third attempt at this episode. The first was scrapped due to a computer malfunction. The second had an iphone issue. So take three was the final attempt! And it was worth it. Locrian has a new album set to release so the timing couldn't have been better. Terence and Andre tell me about their early bands and sounds and how they met at a “metal night” party.  They tell me about their first gig and the band name. But they also reveal their early band philosophy of saying yes to everything and how that got them booked at a birthday party. We create a new genre just for Locrian. I call it Aggressive Atmospheric. And it makes sense when you consider their influences are artists like Popol Vuh, Emperor, Twisted Sister, and Bert Jansch. So you kind of expect sound shifts when you hear how the band has evolved over the years. They keep their fans on their toes, but the reverse is also true. Fans are behind their recent release of archive recordings (keep messaging them about Setting Yr Jetta On Fire).  The latest release is titled End Terrain and it's a pretty heavy dose of reality. The themes are pretty dark but the musical palette expands with more synths and more structure. Order Locrian's End Terrain on Bandcamp, stream it, check it out on Profound Lore Records.

On this episode, Marc talks to Marshall Gu, author of “Krautrock,” published on November of 2023. Part of the 33.3 "Genre" series, it's a look at Krautrock through chapter-length examinations of 12 individual groups: Can, Faust, Cluster & Harmonia, Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, Agitation Free, Guru Guru, Popol Vuh, Amon Duul II, Embryo, NEU!, and Kraftwerk. Along the way Marshall points out commonalities between these groups without boxing them into strict genre rules.As he writes in his introduction, “What does Krautrock actually sound like? It can sound the most unrelenting psychedelia you've ever heard. It can sound like the most hypnotic grooves found in rock music. It can sound like jazz, like junk, like pure noise, or like peaceful ambient music. It can sound like nothing you've ever heard before, which was certainly the original mission statement of many of its practitioners.”We hope you enjoy Marc's chat with Marshall Gu!

El misterio de los mayasEsta semana en Código Misterio hablaremos del misterio de los mayas.Nuestra investigación comienza conociendo un poco más acerca de los mayas y el libro Popol Vuh, donde narra cómo los dioses crearon al hombre enteramente de maíz amarillo y blanco.Hablaremos del origen extraterrestre de su dios Kukulcán, su parecido con la serpiente emplumada, deidad presente en el culto de varios pueblos de Mesoamérica que fue relacionado con el viento, el agua y el planeta venus, quien les enseño la religión, la escritura y el arte de la guerra y desapareció con la promesa de regresar en algún momento en el futuro.También conoceremos de los aluxes, seres mágicos de pequeña estatura que  ayudan a la gente a proteger sus maizales de los ladrones a cambio de comida y bebida, qué relación tienen los mayas con las calaveras de cristal, de que hablaban cuando predijeron que el mundo se acabaría en el 2012?Todo esto y más en este episodio de Código Misterio, búscanos en Facebook e Instagram como Código misterio y descarga el podcast en tu plataforma de audio favorita y pasa la voz.

It's a tale as old as time.  Boy meets Moog III synthesizer.  Boy drops a wad of cash to buy it.  Boy and Moog blissfully record two studio albums and a film soundtrack together.  Boy abruptly breaks up with Moog and finds religion.Boy is, of course, gifted and accomplished pianist Florian Fricke.  His project, and at times even his alter ego, is Popol Vuh.  In this episode we do some Before and After sampling: i.e., we talk through the records on either side of the Moog separation. **SPOILER ALERT**: we like one of these records a lot more than the other.Fricke died far too early, but his was a life *very* well lived.  Dig in deep with Popol Vuh in this latest, oversized episode of Carla and Brad Talk About Krautrock!

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of History Fix, I explore the concept of "Mayanism" -  the centuries old notion that the Maya were a mystical, lost civilization with abilities, knowledge, and powers that modern humans no longer possess. And how these beliefs were started by European conquistadors who couldn't fathom that the Maya were possibly capable of their impressive accomplishments without some kind of supernatural interference, beliefs based in racist ideas that white Europeans were undeniably superior to all other races on Earth and therefore should be the most advanced. I'll explore how Mayanism led to the 2012 end of the world calendar debacle and how it still affects Maya people living in Mexico and Central America today.  www.historyfixpodcast.comSources: A Short History of podcast episode "The Maya"BBC "'Mayan Day of Apocalypse' Arrives"National Geographic "Who were the Maya?

Today's guest is Edgar Garcia. Garcia's new book Emergency: Reading the Popol Vuh in a Time of Crisis (University of Chicago Press, 2022). Emergency takes nine words—“birds,” “wealth,” “caves,” “television,” “demons,” “migrations,” “love,” “the sun,” and “Mormons”—and weaves a rich transhistorical narrative about the Popul Vuh sacred narrative. In these pages, Garcia explores how this text emerged in conditions of historical violence and persisted through over three hundred years, becoming a touchstone for Mesoamerican religious studies, decolonial activism, and literary adaptation. Edgar Garcia is Professor of English at the University of Chicago. His previous books are Signs of the Americas: A Poetics of Pictography, Hieroglyphs, and Khipu (University of Chicago Press, 2020) and Skins of Columbus: A Dream Ethnography (Fence Books, 2019). He has also served as the guest editor of Fence, a literary magazine. Written during the COVID pandemic, Emergency was published in 2022. John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J. Leeds Barroll Prize, given by the Shakespeare Association of America. His peer-reviewed articles have been published or are forthcoming in the Journal for Early Modern Culture Studies, Early Theatre, Studies in Philology, and Shakespeare Studies.

En la mitología maya, Xibalbá es el mundo subterráneo regido por divinidades de la enfermedad y de la muerte. Forma parte del ciclo mítico de los gemelos Hunahpú e Ixbalanqué, narrado en el Popol Vuh. Se cree que su entrada está en una caverna situada en la localidad de Alta Verapaz, en las cercanías de Cobán (Guatemala), pero hay otras repartidas por los lugares arqueológicos mayas. Hoy, con la ayuda del explorador Paco Acedo, haremos un recorrido por algunas de las entradas a Xibalbá, como el cenote Homún, un lugar en el que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.

I can count on one hand the number of films whose introductions startled or entranced me. Citizen Kane, yes, 2001, sure. But one that fascinated me was at a free showing (thanks student ID) during grad school. The film was Aguirre, The Wrath Of God. Besides an interesting title, the opening sequence showed a trail of people traversing a huge, verdant mountain, surrounded in deep, then evaporating fog; conquistadors in heavy breastplates and helmets, indigenous natives impressed into service carrying immense loads, priests, elegant women, horses, donkeys. On the soundtrack, incredible music was describing this journey, as the camera hove into the sight of a blonde helmeted warrior, who seemed to be both frenzied and completely calm. The music was from the West German group Popol Vuh. The half-mad conquistador I recognized slightly from his small roles in many spaghetti Westerns, especially For A Few Dollars More. It was Klaus Kinski. Later, I looked up the director who visualized this and other dream-like scenes in the film --- the German, Werner Herzog.email: David@thosewonderfulpeople.comWebsite and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

This week on Transmissions, Jesse Sheppard and Drew Gardner, the psychedelic folk duo Elkhorn. Their new album, On the Universe In All Directions, finds Jesse once again at his familiar 12-string acoustic guitar, but instead of Drew joining with his trademark Telecaster, he's moved over to vibraphone and drums for this outing. Have no fear: the familiar Elkhorn magic is here in spades, but in brand new ways. The songs were born out of collaboration with New York consciousness group Psychedelic Sangha, and as JJ Toth puts it in his excellent liner notes, the sounds traverse “the valleys between fried cosmic psychedelia and American Primitive… splitting the difference between Popol Vuh's devotional drift and the outer reaches of deep-cut classic rock while constantly keeping one foot in the river of the Ever-Weird America; call it Six Degrees of Uncle Dave Macon.”  From Buddhism to Fahey, from time slips to Aquarium Drunkard itself, this conversation unfolds and wanders, we hope you enjoy it.

The incredible Vashti Bunyan, who joins us to discuss her vivid and deep book Wayward.

    The Plan - make a mix for every year of the 70s, featuring electronic music from each year. Easy peasy! Well, not exactly. The early years are a bit tough. Electronic music wasn't really a genre yet. There are definitely electronic albums. But enough to fill an hour-long mix? Maybe...sort of. So let me start by saying that some folks may disagree with my choices as I tried to fill out the tracklist. There may be some creative finagling in the mixes for the early years. But really, who cares? This is just a fun way to dive deep into the rise of electronic music. In the early sets you'll hear plenty of krautrock or kosmische music. Bands like Popol Vuh, Amon Duul II, Can, and Ash Ra Temple fit that category and make appearances in the first two mixes. Again, some folks may balk at the inclusion of the artists but without them, the '70 & '71 mixes would not have happened. Even Tangerine Dream in these years is barely "electronic." I discovered an artist named Doug McKechnie who experimented with one of the few Moog synths around at that time. I don't believe he ever released any music back then but there are recordings from many of his live shows. The albums were released in 2020 & 2023, so technically this shouldn't count in a mix of music released in 1970, but as I said, it was hard to fill out the mix. The tracks were recorded from 1968 - 72 so I grabbed one that didn't have a specific date on it and decided that it would count as being from 1970. The more I listen to this set the more I like it. The unexpected tracks and artists made for a fun journey. I hope you all enjoy it too.

Mythological sagas are often fantastical and push the imagination to the limit but the Popol Vuh, which originates in what is Guatemala today, has a gallery of extraordinary characters both good and bad. They get involved in a series of mind-boggling battles and challenges and this eventually leads to the creation of the human race. The Maya K'iche' story of the Popol Vuh has come down to us in an 18th-Century transcription and Spanish translation by a priest called Francisco Ximenez, and as with many ancient stories, there are tantalising questions about the history of the manuscript and the origins of the tale itself. Rajan Datar traces the meanings and significance of the Popol Vuh with the help of Frauke Sachse who is director of Pre-Columbian Studies at the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection in Washington DC; Iyaxel Cojti Ren, professor at the University of Texas; Allen Christenson who is professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah as well as an ethnographer and author of a new translation and critical edition of the Popol Vuh. The reader is Florencia Cordeu. (Image: A Mayan ball player at the Great Ball Court in Chichen-Itza. Credit: Independent Picture Service/Universal Images Group/Getty Images)
