Like a couple months ago at the (Thai) restaurant where I work now, some of the (Guatemalan) kitchen workers were doing food prep while listening to some kind of tinny slower tempo music that was coming out of one of their phones.
“What is that?”, I was like, and one of them explained that it was ‘marimba’ music, which they then clarified was the name of the genre of music, though the music itself often contained the playing of the marimba instrument.
And, they said it was very Guatemalan.
Like the next day when I saw my one (Pentecostal) (Guatemalan) coworker, I asked him if he listened to marimba music.
“No,” he was like, and he then said that he only listened to praise music, like the psalms
