Natives were found to be using local drum and percussion instruments such as the guiro, maracas, and turtle shells, and wind instruments such as zampona ( pan pipes) and quena (notched-end flutes).

• Materials came from hollow tree trunks, animal skins, fruit shells, dry seeds, jaguar claws, animal and human bones and especially-treated inflated eyes of tigers.• The indigenous music of Latin

America was largely functional in nature, being used for religious worship and ceremonies.
