Mayowakan or Mayohuacan is the taino name for the Sacred Drum of The Taino People from Kiskeya (also Quisqueya, or perhaps Ixkeya), better known as La Hispaniola island. No mayowakan has been ever found, but it existed as says tradition.
The mayowakan sounds here are insteed a fantasy or my own interpretation about it because from s.XV nobody ever has listen a mayowakan.
The melodies listened here are a musical fantasy, pretending to resemble the tunes, war dances and festives dances including poetry, known as "Areito" in Taino language.
As soon as in Kiskeya inhabited diverse peoples at same time, like Ciguayo, Macorix and Taino, I made the songs resembling the character of each people, the braveness and warriorship of Ciguayos and Macorixes
and the kindness and peacefullnes of Tainos.
