1. Ghost Songs
2. The Moon Goddess
3. Rituals

For nearly 200 years, the Aztec Empire spanned much of what is today Latin America. Though famous for their final struggles against the Spanish Conquistadors, and their sometimes fatal rituals, the Aztec people had a fascinating culture. Aztec music, sometimes referred to as “Ghost Songs” was an important aspect of daily life. Music and religion often went hand-in-hand and music was often used to celebrate their gods as well as to enhance their rituals.

Driven by a strong percussion section, the Gilbert Marching Indians bring to the field their own interpretation of the music from this great culture.
