Yesterday's Maya Day was the 11th anniversary of the Celebration, and part of the ceremony was an award which was given to Mayan Musician Florencio Mes.
The award is called the Preservation of Maya Music through the traditional Harp, and it is fitting since Mes is the only living member of the 3 Kings. Bruk Down Legend Wilfred Peters passed away in 2010, and so did Parandero Paul Nabor in last year October.
Mes is an active musician living San Pedro Columbia Toledo, and at Maya Day yesterday, we got an opportunity to speak him.
He told us that old age isn't going to stop him from doing what he loves:
The award he was given yesterday in Blue Creek was put together by NICH's Institute of Social And Cultural Research, the Tumul Kin Center of Learning.
