The huéhuetl is a vertical drum associated with Mesoamerican traditions, generally built with a wooden body and a membrane stretched across its upper opening. Sound is produced by striking the head with the hands, although contemporary construction and performance practices vary. The instrument appears in historical representations and in present-day practices engaging with Indigenous memory and reconstructions of earlier repertories. This category identifies documents associated with the huéhuetl without assuming that every recording directly reproduces a pre-Hispanic practice. The performers, occasion, and sources used to describe its role should be documented whenever possible.
