1990 na sayaw na namin sa Ramon obusan

Tinalak is for T'boli
Dagmay is for Mandaya
and Naw'wow is for the Bagobo.
Due to the fact that Bagobo weavers are no longer active, Bagobo textile (Naw'wow) is hard to find. We can only see them during festivities like Kadayawan and no available materials for sale. .
Isa po akong Bagobo and it makes me sad, Kolohoy kopod'dos neng puhung, ale po nod'du, lam'ming be bagobo miling nago, hogaling paraan eb'ba kopeed neng koliga ta nagong tribo.
Anyway, ill add, the music is more of Gib'ba or drums, the Tagunggo (Gong) accompaniment is not authentic. The dancing, less Bagobo in identity but the way it is presented conform to the norm.

A big pride for all Filipino. thanks po. asking permission po to have a copy.

amazing

pwede po sya sa occupational dance?

aning klaseng kulintang ba ang ginagamit jan? ung nakalatag o ung nakasabit? kase kapag ung nakalatag, gamit yan ng mga Muslim, ung nakasabit ang sa mga Bagobo.

I think the best thing about filipino music is our Folklore...

ayos bai nindot

hmmmm

Better research more about Bagobo Dance or try to visit us ever kadayawan festival

@febsky Join either Kayamanan Ng Lahi or Kultura if you're in Los Angeles.

i love you guys,,u made it,,,, thanks those who uploaded this...

I know what you mean, if so I think that everyone need to approach those might have miss intrepreted the dance and work on collboration in correcting it. I think we all can say so much, but yet nothing is being done about. Do you know anyone who has the knowledge to properly introduced the dance? I'd like to see their version. But also, being a native Pilipina and I still enjoy any Filipino traditional dance,regardless what tribe it is. I do value the beauty of where it came from :)

I agree with you. I also understand that it is important to preserve the right traditions. I.e. if these dances are not correctly performed w/the correct musical accompaniment as well as the right moves then we practically destroy what was tradition. So we should do our best to preserve the proper dances/music/etc not just assume that it is traditional. Look at how they misinterpreted Pinoy history, esp pre-colonial history and the confusion its given the younger generation about being Pilipino.

I think regardless of authenticity of the dance, we all should appreiate the contribution and effort of those who still bring the education to our children's hand that this is the tribal filipino culture.Regardless of what tribe it is. It's the importance of bringing some of the tradition left for everyone to be teach. It is a beautiful performance and effort. Salamat.

i dont think the musical accompaniment is correct. heard bagobo agong ensemble and they don't sound like one. more like of a maranao or maguindanao sound..the footwork dont work for me as well....im not a bagobo but i saw the real dance in our town, magpet, cotabato, and it sure doesn't look it.

I don't see the bouncing steps of a bagobo rice planting dance. It looks like a combination of singkil and ifugao dances. I've see many bogobo dances in the past from real bagobos, so I can differentiate.

I am of a Mandayan blood. technically, the performance is well done. but my question is, is this really a bagobo dance? it looks like a group of some ifugao dancers wearing a bagobo costume (not really bagobo). one more thing, why do they wore T'nalak, isn't it appropirate to wear Dagmay instead. The are not T'boli, they are bagobo. Sayang kay mga ining yang kamayo ihago sang pag sayaw. makawa nang gana kay itin.

Are you a Bagobo yourself? The research (and resource) person was himeself a Bagobo datu: Datu Oscar Udang and his wife Bai Bonifacia Udang! Have you noticed the many variants of that word? Those were not given in the handout. Wait... the Likha video here don't use the PAKUPAK, THE POLE WITH A NOISY CLAPPER! ...AND, BTW, who distinguishes as to who are the culture bastards, and who are not??? Is it you?
