Many native peoples in Mexico and Central America retain Indian identities and languages and also practice Roman Catholicism and speak Spanish. Musical instruments, genres, and styles borrowed from European culture have been adapted to native tastes and incorporated into traditional repertories. Mexican and Central American Indians emphasize instrumental music more than singing, and much of the traditional music from this region is performed by ensembles that incorporate several different instruments. Music, dance, and religious ceremonies are intertwined in Mexico and Central America, and music accompanies both collective and solo dances. Native Mexican and Central American musics may be divided into four main geographic areas: Northwestern Mexico, Central Mexico, the Maya area, and the Atlantic Coast.

Rattles are musical instruments that produce sound when shaken or struck. They are typically made of various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or even animal bones. Rattles have been used in many cultures throughout history for ceremonial purposes, as toys for children, and in music making. They are often associated with indigenous cultures and are used in traditional dances and rituals. Rattles can be simple or elaborately decorated, and the sound they produce can range from a soft rustle to a loud and percussive shake.
