 Tecoh, Yucatan: Franciscan church near Mayapan. baroque retablo. Mexico travel. Maya Missions. Espadaña Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Located just a few kilometers from the ancient walled city of Mayapan, the gigantic fortress church of Tecoh is set atop a vast Maya pyramid, approached via a broad stone stairway that once led to the Mayan temple.
Starting with the tiny Franciscan chapel established here in the mid-1550s, whose open chapel with its misshapen dome was converted into the present sanctuary, the mission grew rapidly, terminating with the construction of the grand church in the 17th century.
When reassembled, this fine altarpiece will take its place as the jewel in the crown of Tecoh, and one of finest surviving retablos in Yucatan.

 Report Submitted to FAMSI - David Bolles
The two chants presented here are chants by Don Felipe Paz of Tecoh, Yucatán, México, recorded on tape by two different anthropologists about a decade apart.
Sometime between the date of the second recording and 1976 Don Felipe was killed by a neighbor in Tecoh with a shotgun.
The neighbor was pardoned, so the story goes, because what he thought he was shooting was a cat which was prowling about on his kitchen’s roof in the evening.
