Description:SK sings U K'ayil Ts'elen 'Song of the Ts'elen (wasp)'.
Lacandon Cultural Heritage is a documentation of the language and culture of the northern Lacandon(Maya), who live in the rain forest in Chiapas, the south-eastern state of Mexico. They number approximately 350 men, women and children, who have retained much of their traditional culture and religion. The project serves as a preservative measure against loss of the traditional knowledge, stories, and verbal performances that are central to Lacandon culture. It also serves as an interactive resource tool for linguists and non-linguists to access data relevant to their areas of interest, such as folklore, ethnobotany, cultural anthropology, etc.
SK sings U K'ayil Ts'elen 'Song of the Ts'elen', a type of wasp. It is an example of a sekreto 'magic spell', and is similar to U K'ayil K'än Xux 'Song of the Yellow Wasp' , which can be can been found in session Song_Xux_SK_01.
