The marimba is the (traditional) instrument »par excellence« in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Nonetheless there are two different kinds of marimba in Chiapas: on the one hand the »marimba doble«--chromatic-- which is widely visible and no doubt the cultural symbol of the state and on the other hand the »marimba sencilla«--diatonic-- whose status and visibility are almost non-existent. Whereas the »marimba doble« has found a niche within ethnomusicology research the »marimba sencilla« has been utterly ignored having been at times even considered to be extinct in the state. This research focuses on such diatonic marimba tradition. Based on the information gathered during several research stays in the area it attempts to offer a general scope of the dissemination as well as of the various sociocultural interrelations of this musical tradition in the state of Chiapas. At the same time it aims to offer some groundwork for the development of future research which grant access to a deeper understanding of this musical tradition.
