Music


The Nazca had only one known musical instrument called the pan flute. The pan flute is an instrument used all over the world and has a rich history. It usually consists of ten or more wooden pipes of different sizes. To play it you simply blow into the various pipes much life a flute. Each pipe makes a different sound. There are many different types of pipes but the one closest to what the Nazca might have used is called a Zampona. The Zampona is an instrument made by the Inca (after the Nazca). It is not known what the Nazca version of the pan flute looked like it is probably a lot like the Zampona.
