Belize News Post is always on the look out for a new Belizean artist to feature. Today we discovered Florencio Mess a traditional Maya Ketchi musician from the little southern Belize village of San Pedro Columbia. Florencio is on of only a handful of Mayans still honoring the age old tradition of harp playing and making. In this video he is shown hand crafting what looks like a violin. In the second video Florencio Mess is playing the traditional Ketchi Maya harp for a group of tourists in his home.
