Kalanduyan: kulintang - music and dance

Listen for Life ( http://www.listenforlife.org ) presents: Mindanao is the second largest and easternmost island in the Philippines. The kulintang ensemble originates from the southwestern area of Mindanao called Maguindanao. The gong ensemble was used for entertainment and for community interaction, since all members of the community could participate in the playing. In times past, the gongs were also used to send out danger warnings. When the Philippines were under military authority, the gongs were used to tell people to hide when soldiers came to a village, as well as helping to "protect" them from bullets.
