Atlanta, Georgia Nov 9, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Mayan artist, rapper, singer, and songwriter Latin Nova is proud to announce the release of a deeply personal and culturally significant new song, “Kanjobal: Rap Maya con Marimba,” a groundbreaking musical expression that brings together contemporary rap, singing, and the timeless sounds of traditional marimba, performed in the original Mayan language.
Having previously released music in both Spanish and English, this song marks a historic and deeply emotional milestone in the artist’s musical journey: being the first time he has recorded and performed a song entirely in his ancestral Maya language. More than a musical release, “Kanjobal: Rap Maya con Marimba” represents a commitment to preserving the language, philosophy, spirituality, and cultural identity of the Maya people—the civilization whose ancestors built the magnificent pyramids and whose legacy continues to live through their descendants.
“This song is more than music. It is my roots, my identity, my history, and my voice as a Mayan artist. I’ve sung in Spanish and English, but now I am returning to the language of my grandfathers, the language of my ancestors. I want the world to hear the beauty of our Maya language and understand that our culture is alive. We are still here”.
A SONG DEDICATED TO A MOTHER’S LEGACY
At the heart of “Kanjobal: Rap Maya con Marimba” lies an intimate and emotional tribute to the artist’s mother, whose teachings profoundly shaped Latin Nova’s connection to Mayan heritage.
The song is dedicated to her memory, honoring the woman who instilled in the artist a deep appreciation for their cultural roots, identity, and ancestral traditions. Through her love and guidance, she taught the importance of embracing the Mayan heritage and carrying its wisdom forward for future generations.
Her legacy lives on through every lyric, every melody, and every word spoken in the ancestral language.
“This song is dedicated to my mother, who taught me to embrace my culture and never forget where I come from. She taught me to value my Mayan roots. Through this song, I honor her memory, her teachings, and the love she gave me. My voice is also her voice, and this music is part of the legacy she left in my heart.”
PRESERVING THE MAYA LANGUAGE THROUGH MUSIC
With “Kanjobal: Rap Maya con Marimba,” Latin Nova seeks to create a bridge between generations, connecting the ancient Maya civilization with contemporary music and a global audience.
The project is an invitation for Maya descendants to reconnect with their ancestral language and for people around the world to discover the richness, beauty, and sound of the Mayan language.
The song will be available on all major digital streaming platforms. In addition, it will be offered as a free download for anyone interested in learning the Mayan language, exploring Maya culture, or simply experiencing the unique sound and rhythm of an ancestral language that has survived through centuries.
Through the fusion of rap, singing, and marimba, Latin Nova demonstrates that Ancestral languages are not relics of the past. They are living languages capable of expressing modern ideas, emotions, and artistic visions.
“Kanjobal: Rap Maya con Marimba” is a celebration of identity, resistance, cultural preservation, and the enduring spirit of the Maya people.
The ancestors built the pyramids. Their descendants continue to build the future—one song, one word, and one generation at a time.
