Apaneca is one of the best places in El Salvador to get in touch with the native indigenous people.
This picture comes from MrRandMcnally of a group singing in the language of the Nahuatl: Nahuat or Pipil.
The locals are friendly. If you speak a little Spanish I recommend you ask them about their lives, it is a great way to get a feel for the people of El Salvador. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, they are welcoming and will talk to you, and if you’re lucky, play you music!

We heard this group of Nahuat musicians three years ago when we were in Juayua. They were nice enough to let my son, who plays marimba, jam with them for a minute.
