Traditional Bukidnon Music and Dance
Traditionally, the dance rhythms are mainly played by tapping with the bare hands on
a mat against the floor or the walls of a house. The accompaniment on musical
instruments is therefore not necessary but usually done, depending on the presence
of a gong (agung), a drum (gimbe or tambul) or a bamboo slit drum (bantula or
tagungtung).
Among the dances (sayaw) as well as dance rhythms (basal), there are similarities in
all the Bukidnon areas. There are many variants of rhythms, according to different
regional traditions and depending on the knowledge of the individual drummers. The
dance rhythms are simple repetitions of one rhythmic pattern, which is sometimes
combined with a second one, usually in medium tempo and consisting of
combinations of quarter- and eighth-note values. They are usually beaten with two
wooden sticks, the one held with the right hand playing the strong beats, the left one
the soft beats (with left-handed performers vice versa).

tribal oral traditions.
Tribes represented by participating municipalities portrayed various stories during
their dance presentation, each exhibiting thier unique experiences, beliefs, and
traditions. The rhythmic dances and chants during the festival pay tribute to the
bountiful harvests and the land’s fertility, keeping the community’s ties to their land
and traditions fiercely alive.
The Kaamulan Festival has its roots in the indigenous cultures of the province of
Bukidnon, Philippines. It traces its origins to pre-colonial times when the
indigenous tribes of Bukidnon held rituals and gatherings to celebrate bountiful
harvests, important milestones, and significant events in their communities. The
festival aimed to foster understanding, appreciation, and respect for the indigenous
traditions and customs that had been an integral part of Bukidnon’s history for
centuries. It provided a platform for the tribes to come together, exchange cultural
practices, and strengthen their collective identity.
By showcasing the cultural heritage through various activities such as street
dancing, parades, and cultural shows, we will shed light on its significance,
historical roots, and countless activities that make it a must-visit event for culture
enthusiasts.
