	Latin American Music - MSN Encarta
		The limited knowledge of native Latin American music before the conquest by the Spanish in the 1500s comes from the study of archaeological remains showing graphic depictions of instruments and musical life, especially of the Aztec and Maya peoples of Mesoamerica and the Inca people of the Andes (see Aztec Empire).
		Musicians used a variety of scales, and music and dance were closely associated with state and religious activities, as well as with agricultural ceremonies in the Andes.
		Indigenous music tends to be monophonic (consisting of a single, unharmonized melody) or heterophonic (consisting of two or more parts playing the same melody in varied ways), although in southern Peru and Bolivia the use of parallel fourths and fifths (see Harmony) is common for panpipe and flute ensembles.
