Heartbeat of Davao City, Lumad from Manobo Tribe Plays Koglong Folk Music

This is a dying piece of Folk Music from the Manobo Tribe - a Lumad (Native) of Davao City.

When I was still a child, I used to see them in their colorful native costumes... and perform really subliminal tunes to some extent can be compared to most techno trance music.

However, the beat of this folk music is unique... it humms a monotonous chord or key which the jumpy melody played in a slightly hurried beat soothes the senses...

At any rate... it stimulates the mind... I will try to find more about them in these modern times.
