The Totonac peoples have communities principally in northern Veracruz and neighboring areas of Puebla, with distinct local histories and musical practices. Songs, dance repertories, wind and percussion instruments, and ceremonial performances take different forms according to locality and occasion. The well-known Dance of the Flyers is only one among many practices associated with Totonac communities and should not stand for their entire musical life. This category identifies recordings linked to Totonac contexts. Specific place names, language, performers, and descriptions of the event are needed to understand what a recording documents rather than assuming a single regional style.
