Había otra sala que se llamaba mixcoacalli. En este lugar se juntaban todos los cantores de México y Tlatelulco, aguardando a lo que les mandase el señor, si quisiese bailar o probar o oír algunos cantares de nuevo compuestos. Y tenían a la mano aparejado todos los atavíos del areito, atambor y tamboril, con sus instrumentos para tañer el atambor, y unas sonajas que se llaman ayacachtli y tetzilácatl y omichicahuaztli y flautas, con todos los maestros tañedores y cantores y bailadores, y los atavíos del areito para cualquier cantar. Si mandaba el señor que cantasen los cantares de huexotzincáyutl o anahuacáyutl, ansí los cantaban y bailaban con los atavíos del areito de huexotzincáyotl o anahuacáyutl. Y si el señor mandaba a los maestros cantores que cantasen y bailasen el cantar que se llama cuextecáyutl, tomaban los atavíos del areito conforme al cantar, y se componían con cabelleras y máxcaras pintadas, con narices agujeradas y cabellos bermejos, y traían la cabeza ancha y larga, como lo usan los cuextecas. Y traían las mantas texidas a manera de red, de manera que los cantores tenían muchas y diversas maneras de atavíos de cualquiera
