I. MORO/ISLAMIC MUSIC:
A. Vocal Music of Mindanao
The Islamic community in the Philippines consists of ethno-linguistic groups:
- The Maguindanao of Cotabato
- The Maranao of Lanao and Cotabato
- The Samal and Jama Mapun of the Sulu Islands of Sibutu and Cagayan De Sulu
- The Tausug of the Sulu Islands of Jolo, Siasi, and Tawi-Tawi
- The Yakan of Basilan and Zamboanga
Yakans do their chantings through solo and counter or group singing. Their three famous
everyday style chants are the:
a. Lugu – chants that they use in reading their Qur’an and other books they use in their Islam
religion.
b. Kalangan – songs that they use for serenading his/her loved ones
c. Sa-il / Lunsey – an important chant to be sung by the wife-to-be during the ceremony that
talks about married life
a. Ya-ya – is a song of the Yakans to put the baby to sleep, sung in a relax/slow manner, soft
and soothing while rocking the baby.
b. Bayok – is also a Maranao term for lullaby

All of these songs regardless of its tribe of origin have some common characteristics:
1. Melismatic style of singing. Melisma means a group of notes sung in one syllable of the text.
Example is Luguh (https://youtu.be/Nr7FIY3ePgY)
2. Use of tremolo (rapid reiteration of a single note). The tremolo produces a musical effect which
resembles a shaky sound of notes.

3. Long and slow melodic phrase. Unlike the regular song which has a fixed meter or number of
syllables for each line in stanza, these songs have indefinite length of lines which results from the
singer’s improvisation of the tune of the song.
4. Strained or throaty voice. This style of singing is very common to ethnic groups wherein the
singer uses his/her speaking voice to execute the song.
5. Free rhythm. Vocal music of Mindanao uses the free rhythm style. It means there are no fixed
measures in the song. You cannot distinguish if the song you are hearing is done in duple, triple
or quadruple. And because the singer has always the freedom to improvise the piece, one cannot
predict the length of each line of the song.
