_aztec drum circle SSS068




This ambisonic spatial audio recording captures a huge Aztec drum circle at night in Mexico City's Zócalo Plaza. The performances happen nightly, and many tourists gather around to watch about 100 people dance and chant in a moving circle around a few central drummers with large hand drums. The performers wear shells around their ankles as they step to the beats, while some blow large horns made from shells. The atmosphere is both entrancing and chaotic, while the echo and reverberation from the large stone plaza adds sonic power to the experience. Aztec drum circles were originally meant to please the gods.
