Uxmal by Matt Polansky
Uxmal merges surf, ambient, and latin music. To capture the feeling of Mesoamerican ruins covered in tourists. Less country and more neo-surf on this one.
The Mayan town of Uxmal, in Yucatán, was founded around 700 and had some 25,000 inhabitants. The layout of the buildings, reveal a knowledge of astronomy. Along with Kabah, Labna and Sayil; Uxmal is considered one of the the high points of Mayan art and architecture.
There is an staff of 22 people at Uxmal, responsible for guardianship and maintenance work.The Cultural lnstitute of the State of Yucatan is responsible for the management of the site museum and its service unit, established in 1986 with a permanent staff of 25 employees. There is no specific management plan for Uxmal, because it was considered that the lack of threat from, for example, urban development meant that normal maintenance and research programs would suffice. However, the authorities now consider it a matter of priority to establish a management plan for Uxmal. An important aspect to be considered is the inclusion of social and environmental perspectives that will help to preserve social sustainability as well as cultural and natural resources of the sites, as a legacy for future generations.
