Lumaltok

The rock group Sotzil Lumaltok, hailing from Zinacantán, Chiapas, offers a distinct musical fusion. While their name "Lumaltok" means "fog" or "cloud" in the Tzotzil language, reflecting their Mayan roots, their music primarily falls under the genre of rock, often incorporating elements of blues and psychedelic sounds.

Instead of focusing on traditional indigenous music in a conventional sense, Sotzil Lumaltok sings their rock compositions predominantly in the Tzotzil language. This act in itself is a powerful expression of their cultural identity, bringing their native language into a modern musical context. Their lyrics often touch upon their experiences and perspectives as indigenous people in contemporary society.
