There was music for war, ceremonial music in which all the community was involved, big dances with lot of instruments.
Big groups of drums with flutes which they played at the same time and there was also very festive music, more intimate,
like the moment when a child is born, a weeding within the family circle,
this represented a motive to make music...They expressed practically everything by music.
These type of sounds, in chronicles written by the Spanish mention how this sounds frightened them
these sounds went as far as to make them faint because of their intensity...you feel it in your head, you hear it, but you also feel it, as if traveling through your head.
so, for those who at this time were not used to hearing these sounds, it was a shocking sensation
so, it provoked fear, repulsion, and many things they didn't know of.
