  • @DRIVENcars the title of this dance is asik

  • why don't you search for the bayanihan dance troupe website maybe you can buy some cds from them....

  • Hi, i was wondering what this music is called, my filipino club @ school is going to hold a culteral show and we needed a different kind of music this year and i was curious to what this song was.

  • Now that is native music not that spanish crap.

  • nice dance. the guy talking should have got off his phone though.

  • sorry i have to put my 2 cents as well hehehhee ...its adressing up to serve the king so basically the person whose dancing it is in the "bedroom" getting dressed..and the music is from bayanihan hahahhahaha

  • The kulintang playing is all wrong! their dresses aren't even magindanao, there are several women dancing it when it should really be one and its not danced gracefully! but even if I say what the manner of dance SHOULD be, they'll ignore me. I was doin dat TOOOO many times b4 wth (erroneous) utube vids of kasingkil, kapagapir, pangalay/pakiring etc. I just play along now ;) lol

  • Hehehe actually I know that this is NOTHING like the real Asik. This is just a weird mix of pseudo-Asik n kapagapir :S but honestly, Ive given up wth letting these ppl kno what the dances are REALLY about, bcoz they r only interestd in d "exoticness". Hav u seen sum of d so-called "Muslim dresses" some dancers wear which dont even cover the Awrah properly? they dont seem to care, so now i cant be bothered to tell them they're wrong :(

  • the asik of my people, the maguindanowan, is a royal dance and was NEVER a slave dance at all. its a story about how a daughter of the sultan through another wife is trying to appease her father. there is a chant, called the beduwin, that is sang in the beginning & the end envoking the maguindanowan royal family. what sucks more, is at the end of this dance, they tried to add the maranaw kapagapir, a whole different culture and is poorly represented.

  • GREAT stuff! my only advice is that the dancers be more restrictive in their movements, as with other high-status Asian dances, there's an emphasis laid in the perfect and flawless execution of movement. If you see dances from our neighbor Indonesia, you'd see what I mean. Pero GALING!! ^_^
