Instruments he uses
Tongali
The tongali is one of the classical musical instruments that is still taught to young people. Northern Luzon's Kalinga people play fast and loose with the truth. The sound is produced by covering multiple finger holes and blowing through a hole in the nose. This nasal flute is supposed to have once been used to aid in rice cultivation.
Gangsa
The gangsa is a type of bronze metallophone used mostly in Javanese and Balinese Gamelan music in Indonesia. But in the Philippines, it is played in the Cordilleras by a number of ethnic groups. The instrument is tuned differently and comes in several sizes to allow players to achieve the proper pitch. It is also done on gongs during rice ceremonies, especially during the planting and harvesting seasons.
Bungkaka
Depending on the village, the Kalinga call bamboo buzzers bungkaka or bilbil. Many indigenous tribes in the Philippines, including the Ifugao, Kalinga, and Ibaloi, use this percussion instrument made of bamboo. Women are believed to play this instrument, which is said to ward off evil spirits, while they travel along deserted mountain trails.
Paldong
The Kalinga tribes of the Philippines play the paldong, a traditional lip-valley flute. It has four open-ended finger openings on each end. Since the majority of generated tunes are made up on the moment, it is typically utilized for serenades, relaxation, and pass time. The titles of songs that are appropriate for this purpose typically describe the sounds that the music attempts to mimic, such as bird chirping, eagle cries, wasp buzzes, etc.
