Hi Anonymous,Your explanation regarding the solemn part does make a lot of sense. Thanks :-)

Yep, this is a victory chant after a war or some battle. the "solemn" part, I believe, is when they cry for those who died in the battle: mourning the dead. then they go back to the singing and dancing about their victory.in all fairness, this is a choir concert and not an Itneg tribal festival. their movements must have been based on Itneg tribal movements (i'm assuming) but they couldn't really

Hi Anonymous,Thanks for dropping by. I didn't know that our brother and sister Tingguians are more into music and dances. This makes it all the more important for those who appropriate their culture and use them for entertainment purposes to be more informed and to be more sensitive about what they are adopting. Eh kasi baka ang gagaling ng Tingguian na sumayaw pero yung gumagaya sa kanila ay

Let us also consider that the Tingguians of Abra are more on Music and Dances

i still think that it's a demonstration of a bad case of choreography and direction. (ake ke ke, keg ngan di ammok is choreography ya direction is.) if anything, it would have been an opportune time to rouse the audience from its slumber. (i would imagine the other parts of the show to be really somnolent if a victory chant is delivered that way. sori po sa mga taga up concert chorus.) the

LOL. You have a good point there! Victory chant nga pala ito. Your comment, somewhat similar to Natz's in the Kalinga video, raises the question on whether we should appreciate those artists who seek to "present" our culture but end up misrepresenting us. In fairness to the singers, I think they would be more excited/energetic if they were performing and cheering their team in a sports event and

i just watched the itneg victory chant. i think they didn't do justice to the piece. why would the winners appear and sound solemn, as if they were the ones who were trampled upon? fellow igoys from abra must be offended by how one of their proud moments is portrayed. compare this with the manner with which players from new zealand (usually done by the rugby players) perform the hakku (their

Hi, Thanks for dropping by. Sorry, I only know "inabak mi daida" which means "we beat/defeated them". And of course, "dongdong ay ... sallidumay" is a common Cordillera chorus which , to my knowledge, doesn't really mean anything. Parang "lalalalala".
