I apologize for having deleted the original message of this inquiry.  The
information I can share on the topic is:

1. The Florentine Codice gives a nice description of different
Mesoamerican musical instruments such as the teponaztli

2.  The state of Tlaxcala has a CD "Carnaval Tlaxcala" for sale that
features the state's traditional music and includes singing in Nahuatl

3.  The Archives of Traditional Music in Bloomington, IN have recordings
made in Sonsonate, El Salvador in 1965 that include some songs with Nahuat
lyrics

San ixquich,

Sincerely
Mark Morris

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more
grief. Eccl 1:18

To realize that our knowledge is ignorance, this is a noble insight. To
regard our ignorance as knowledge, this is mental sickness.  Only when we
are sick of our sickness, shall we cease to be sick.  The Sage is not
sick, being sick of sickness; This is the secret of health.  TTC 71
