LULAY: Philippine Folk Dance

[LAPUbutsekikMAG]

333 years of whipping and hardships and swallowing the Catholic Religion that's colonization...LAPULAPU...rebe­led against it and finally Jose Rizal in cohots with the Americans finally got rid of the Barbarian Colonizers which left us half and half with genes...culture etc... we like it or not, is not

the point - It is HISTORY made...we had no

control of IT...Just Enjoy the DANCE..

Spain occupied both the Philippines(400+ years) and Mexico probably hundreds more. If there is any commonality between Mexico and Philippines it's because of the Spaniards. Music like this which uses the Rodalla guitars were partly influenced by the Spaniards.

[Saiaopinoi]

Philippines was under Spain for only 333 years. That figure is very easy to memorize. I don't understand why many people make a mistake on this.

[Kenneth1944]

I'm an American, I've seen the Mexican dances.  This looks traditional Philippine to me as an outsider. I love watching both the Spanish/Mexican styles, and the Philippine/Asian style.

[Asoingles2007]

As I wrote; there is Mexican influence on the traditional Pinoy dances. But, don't assume that I am correct...you can view the Carribean dances yourself.

[TotallyAnimeLover]

It's not Mexican, it's Spanish influence, I guess.

[Asoingles2007]

Lots of Mexican influence on this one.

[Saiaopinoi]

I am not convinced. Who influenced whom?

[akinJR]

That's what I always wondered. I thought it would be the Spaniards.

[beaulahHadassah]

very nice

[lai0228]

im just curious if the real name of the song is lulay... cute because i am named lulay ;)

[beaulahHadassah]

Ganda!

[JPRittle]

my mexican friend said that the exact tune of this song is actually a traditional folk song from mexico not the philippines.

its basically a spanish song sung in filipino dialect. i would hardly classify it as a folk song then.

[Saiaopinoi]

Ok. That's an interesting find. Both of us need to redefine 'folk song'. This music is actually just an intro to a "folk" song entitled "Bajo Los Cocoteros". What is the title of that Mexican counterpart? BTW, both Mexico and Philippines were Spanish colonies in the past that's why, it's not surprising to know that.

[akinJR]

And the link between the two countries seems to be Spain. hmmm.....

[cLumSyme10]

@akinJR yes youre probably right because Philippines was under Spains colony for 333 years!!and mexico i think hundreds of years also..thats why philippines, mexico, and spain.. are never too far in cultures..because one influenced another..

[everybodylovesasian]

Forgive me if I misinterpreted your comment, but you realize Spanish isn't indigenous to Mexico, right? This song probably came to the Philippines from Mexico, and is just about as much traditional in Mexico as it is in the Philippines, since both Mexican culture and Philippine cultures have been predominantly influenced by Spain.

See also the Leyte Dance Theater interpretation of the Philippine Folk dances...seemly marvelous and world-class! Just search the words--Leyte dance Theater!

[Saiaopinoi]

I love the group very much. Their type of dances are theatrical folk dance inspired. Certainly not folk dances.

The LULAY is among the few Philippine National dances. There is a Lulay from Laguna, from Leyte, Mindoro and yes,Ilo-ilo. An excerpt of the Lulay is also part of the Christmas folk dance from Albay called Pastores Maliliput.

[jongpallon]
