    IGOROTS

    Cordillerans are the people of the Cordillera region, in the Philippines island of Luzon. The Igorot form two subgroups: the larger group lives in the south, central and western areas, and is very adept at rice-terrace farming; the smaller group lives in the east and north. The tribal groups formerly practiced headhunting. Cordillerano, or Cordilleran, is a term used for the people of the hill tribes of Luzon, Philippines, who are residing in the Cordillera and Caraballo mountains. This term became more common after a perceived negative stigma in the term Igorot, which had been incorrectly connected to backwardness and inferiority. In addition, not all Kalinga accept the designation of Igorot. The Cordillera region of Northern Philippines is the ancestral domain of the Igorots. It comprises the six provinces of Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga,Ifugao, and Mountain Province, plus the lone city of Baguio.

    INSTRUMENTS

    BUNKAKA
    The bamboo buzzer is known variously as the balingbing or bunkaka (Kalinga) and batiwtiw (Central Philippines). The bunkaka, as the name implies, is a bamboo tube which is open or split at one end. Sound is produced by striking the split end against the palm. This instrument is played alone or in groups as a form and diversion or to drive away evil spirits along a forest trail. Idiophone

    GANGSA
    The gangsa is a gong-like flat metal drum that comes in various sizes, but is generally approximately one foot in diameter and two inches thick. It is held vertically by a cord that is looped through two holes at its side and is connected to a carved piece of wood for the player to grip. In the past, this wood was often replaced by a human jaw bone.

    PALENDAG

    The palendag, also called Pulalu (Manabo[1] and Mansaka), Palandag (Bagobo)[2], Pulala (Bukidnon) and Lumundeg (Banuwaen) is a type of Philippine bamboo flute, the largest one used by the Maguindanaon, a smaller type of this instrument is called the Hulakteb (Bukidnon).[3]. A lip-valley flute, it is considered the toughest of the three bamboo flutes (the others being the tumpong and the suling) to use because of the way one must shape one's lips against its tip to make a sound.[4] The construction of the mouthpiece is such that the lower end is cut diagonally to accommodate the lower lip and the second diagonal cut is make for the blowing edge. Among the Bukidnon, a similar instrument with the same construction except that it is three-fourths the length of the palendag, is called the hulakteb [3] For the Maguindanaon, the palendag was used for intimate gatherings for families in the evening.[4]

    SAGEYPO
    the sageypo, is made of buho. It has no five finger holes and produces only one pitch. The Kalinga of the Mountain Province enjoy playing the sageypo. Ensemble music can be played by a group of five, six, or more players, each one holding a sageypo. The pipes are closed at one end and are of different lengths.
