Itneg / Tinguian Tadok dance, Luzon, Philippines 1960s

[pinoywilliepu1961]

Kalinga or Benguet Cordillera's Style...

[senantiasa]

I could've sworn I posted this comment before. Isn't this Itneg dance very similar to the Flores dances in Indonesia in terms of dance techniques, instruments and the type of traditional clothing they wear. See watch?v=7u_LdHtgpKA

[senantiasa]

Sorry I meant (watch?v=1Lw62eW70Qg&feature=r­elated)

[BronzeKulintang]

Very cool, I had not seen this old Garfias film before. I myself danced this exact dance several times last month, first in Guinaang, Pasil, Kalinga province to the playing of gangsa, and the following week in Boliney, Abra province to the playing of bamboo zithers. This tradition is alive and well!

[KetutErawati]

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

the way you talk is something else to be ashamed about...

[miguelsirusibin]

there is nothing wrong with the way he talked

[esrosa]

This is really nice. Thank you for showing them to the world.

[pinoypangit]

Beautiful! Don't let it die. Pleeeeease!

[jsa163]

I just learned that my ancestors are Itneg. I cannot speak the language (dialect) but I can catch some phrases.

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

if they are of the Malay stock, then this culture is of the old malay culture, much like the indigenous tribes of the neighbouring island s off Java; completely different from that of the Ancient, hindu srivijayan empire.

[madjornat]

Only the Tinggiuan and some Kalinga folks dance like that! Thanks for posting this.

[zbalani]

@madjornat i like your comments ah,,,

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

*this is not in response to the dance* I think it's disgusting how the Filipinos in the U.S. have gotten so culturally distant from their original roots in the Philippines. In America they act like idiots and make a bad name for themselves.

[pinoypangit]

Not everybody. I still love to see these things. I spent a week of my vacation last year in Atok and Tupdak to see my aunt's friends get married. I still find these dance beautiful. I'm fucking very proud to where I came from so, eat me!

[Villyamor]

Most of the Tagalogs in U.S forget their roots, so that's why they call this "crip walk". But the Ilocanos like me, are more connected to our roots cuz we speak our own dialect more than Tagalog in U.S. So you might say some Filipinos are ignorant in their own culture, but not all my brotha.

[uutubeefan]

nicee!

[GHOKO1234]

this dance is called "tadok", which is a little bit similar with the bontoks "tadek"

[Saiaopinoi]

I think Tadok/tadek refer to all "couple dances" or 'pas-de-deux' for dance majors. The one involving a wide scraf is a tadek dance called Pinanyuwan/ Tadek Inlaud/ Tadek Lablabaan. In some places it is called Salukisik (when fast), Sinuklit (by the lowland Tinggian) or Pinal-laiyan (when danced at a 'palanos').

[char2binx]

we need more videos of this on youtube! bravo! beautiful!

[Etabbac]

Beautiful!!

[Shverina]

*HOLY COW!!!* Absolute TREASURE is right! That guy is doing the happiest jig I've ever seen... and that's called the crip walk? *LOL* I'm filipino but grew up in the U.S. I have never seen this. Ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting. Please keep this up.

[xpo147]

Filipinos invented the crip walk? CRAZY! :D

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

okay, don't confuse beautiful culture with your disgusting, american invented conformities. thank you

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

yeah, I can TELL you grew up in the U.S. *scoffs*

[laffytaffy56]

i love this dance!

[esperomarkryan]

to the the who posted this video, this is a gem! thanks!

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

so are the igorot part of the aeta (negrito) ethnic group?

[anak1]

nope, the igorot are a proto-austronesian group of highland people. the Aeta negrito are from a different ethnic stock: they are related to other negrito groups in Malaysia and the Andaman Islands

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

so are the igorot related to the malays? (orang melayu)

[esperomarkryan]

i'm not very sure how the classifications go, but i suggest you check out wikipedia, they sort out languages and ethnic groups of the philippines quite well.

as a filipino, i can say aeta looks very different from malays. they more closely resemble aborigines to me.

[lindsaybagaid]

@thecritiquevirtuoso Igorots has a white- pinkish skin from the Cordillera Administrative Region. the aetas has a DRAK SKIN. I hope this would help. Thank you

[brseavey]

Thank you for posting this treasure.

[anak1]
