irah gwapaa

[manskieee]

This is a malong dance from cotabato philippines, maguindanao dance.

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

the hand movements derive from Indian motifs in dance and are called "mudras" in sanskrit. This type of hand gesturing can also be seen in Indonesian, Malay, Khmer, and Thai dances... I beg each and every one of you to search a query on the Legong dances to see the similarities.

[anak1]

Indeed, the dances of the indigenous groups can be traced to an era when Hindu-Buddhist culture was somewhat influential in what was to become the Philippines. A common theme in dance throughout Southeast Asia seems to be those of the Apsara/Vidhya-Dhari (celestial nymphs/angels according to Hindu-Buddhist tradition), and local interpretations of the various Mudra associated with them. Compare the Bahasa Sug concept of Bidadari, which also takes its root from Sanskrit :)

[Saiaopinoi]

You're right anak1. Actually there is one dance among the Maguindanao people of Sharif Kabungsuwan that depict the bidadari (their good spirits). The dancers use munsala (probably to depict wings [of angels?]). The dance is called Kabpalamanis or Kaprangmanis / Kabprangmanis. Another bidadari dance is the "Kambabas" dance of Sinumpalay and Kipangol.

[TulangKaruk]

do tausuq had any other kind of dance, or were it just this one?

[Saiaopinoi]

There are many Tausug dances I know like the Sua Ku Sua, Kambuyang, Dayang-dayang, Pangalay, Pangalay ha Pattung, Pangalay ha Agung, Pangasik, Eringan, Tamingan, Pangilok, Langka-silat, Kuntao, Burung-talo and many many more. Those I have mentioned are I think the most popular ones.

[TulangKaruk]

[Gumamela36]

it is areal dance from mindanao,and we dance this also in our philippine cultural group here in abroad(i was born and raised in mindanao)

[Gumamela36]

This dance is a real philippino dance,and originates from mindanao. I am a pinay from mindanao,who lives abroad since 15 years,but we dance this dance in our cultural show(in our pinoy cultural group)!!

[Gumamela36]

Hello,joelrichard,this dance is absolutely REAL,and originates from Mindanao.I am born and raised on mindanao,but live now for 15 years abroad,but the philippine cultural group in my area dances this dance on our cultural gatherings.

[joelrichard]

i have NEVER seen this dance and i know actual people from Sulu and Tawi Tawi. i have a sama friend who saw this and just started laughing saying that this dance is not even real.

[Saiaopinoi]

Please read the video infos so you'll know where the informant of Mr Obusan was contacted. Even the very popular dance Pangalay is RARELY performed in Mindanao except in dance troupes. Native cultures are fast vanishing in this westernized country. Good if you see vestiges of our own culture.

[ahmyne]

maybe your friend or you doesnt even know this dance. why dont you try to research this.

[brugadag]

ang ganda..beri graceful..from north to south hindi q alam qng iln pang sayaw ang meron tayo..napakayaman talaga ng ating kultura...at iyan ang pinagmamalaki q s atng bansa..kapus man sa pinansyal na panga2ilangan...di naman nagku2lang sa kasiyahan.Maraming salamat sa pag-upload.

[martin1ko]

very good

[gwaporenz]

Whatever ethnic grouping this video represented that doe'snt matter. what is important is vthat it tells that the Philippines is not only Spanish or American nor Chinese and Indian. It is also Malayan and Arabian and that is told by this dance.

[Saiaopinoi]

I always try to see myself culturally as a Filipino; not as Spanish, Malayan, Chinese-influenced person. Our culture being dynamic had evolved through time that those so-called influences are hardly authentic in sense. I can see that though influenced, our culture has a very unique and identifiable Filipino charm

[larryaragon]

Once again I thank you. Being half Ilocano and raised in the US I find all the different cultures within cultures amazing. The food and physical appearance tell me you are all my fathers people.

[emitz]

GWAPPORENZ arabian they don't have this kind of dance timing and the music, we can find that kind of dance only in philippines and even tinikling where thailand imitates it already and they don't even know the story and origin of tinkling..

[Saiaopinoi]

Bamboo 'trap' dances are common among many Southeast Asian cultures. Malaysia have the Mangu Natip, Brunei's got the Alai Secap, and of course, Thailand have their own.  Even in oue beloved country there exist other bamboo 'trap' dances aside from tinikling and singkil: Talgki and Khinlesung.

[anak1]

The Philippines is FIRST AND FOREMOST a Malayan/Austronesian nation. The languages and ethnicities present in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei are not foreign from those of the Philippines: they are indeed of the same ethnic, linguistic and cultural stock as Filipinos. Those in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Mindanao & Sulu as well as Western Anthropologists, Historians and Linguists know this fact very well.

[blingmay20]

nice video...we almost have the same one... but ours is a little faster but most likely the same...

[anak1]

nice vid for the purposes of informing! :) but aren't the dancers supposed to be dancing on the cloth??

[Saiaopinoi]

They should be. Please read the second paragraph. :)

[Saiaopinoi]

That's how see things. The movements are common among Bangsamoro dances. Can you differentiate the Maranao 'bonggala' from the Tausug 'biyatawi' or from the tight-fitting blouse maguindanaon and even Tiruray women wear?

BTW, what do you my by "tribe"? Is Tausug classified as a tribe?

[ruqqab]

common! the movements and the costume doesnt represent tausug. no way to say this is tausug. you cant even identify w/c tribe represented by this dance.
