Thanks for uploading this kind of video. Its important that old things, especially culture related, stay alive. I most likely will buy a set when i go back overseas, im fascinated with anything Philippine related.
gosh this is just such beautiful music. im writing a filipino character in a comic right now, ive never had more fun researching music and culture before
i'm overjoyed to find your channel! i was raised on western music theory (and i am no percussionist) :c so there's a gulf of understanding to clear. thank u for providing notation and other visual aids in your video!
I dont own a kulintang but this helps in my trying to incorporate indigenous Filipino esque beats into my electronic sounds for my wip album. Maraming salamat po kaibigan
great! i'm excited to hear it!! i've always believed it's not just about timbre per se. it's actually more of language in my opinion. you can play using a Thai kong wong yai and still make it sound Mindanao through the right rhythms and patterns. Master kulintang players will recognize it as theirs. On the other hand, one can have a good kulintang set but play patterns un-idiomatic to Mindanao music and it won't really hit things well. (i hear this a lot with kulintang set up diatonically to make chords, just doesn't sit well with me. haha. but hey that's just me)
@@avianjohansson5672 study about the ancestral composition of modern ethnic groups in the Philippines from 2021 suggests that distinctive Basal-East Asian (East-Eurasian) ancestry originated in Mainland Southeast Asia at ~50,000BC, and expanded through multiple migration waves southwards and northwards respectively.
This is awesome. Looking to expand my expressive boundaries, coming from an American rudimental background, I love the complexity that may be derived from these. I suspect the key execution element to master is striking the little ball in the center while reaching and jumping over several, crossovers, etc.
yes. the "knob" is the place to hit, otherwise it would sound like a clangy bum note. i'm glad you're enjoying your exploration of world musics and i'm happy this video is helping you with that.
The wooden frame fashioned with the carvings (Okir) with legs is actually unique to the maranaos. They are the first ones to use the kolintang sitting in a chair and using a wooden frame with legs. After the 15th century the other Moro ethnic group started doing so too, and now in the present the Maranao kolintang is more widely used by any of the Moro ethnic group for their ensemble because of it.
Wonderful introduction to the world of kulintang music, concise and effective. Will probably be using it in the future to introduce someone to this music ^^
ayos! ako rin naging studyante ni Ma’am Fernandez (ages ago 😂) paki-kamusta naman ako… salamat at nawa’y natuwa ka at marami kang nagutunan sa aking video 👌
Thank you for this very informative video! This really helps me, as a player and enthusiast of kulintang, to better understand its nature. God bless, Sir!
This is a great introduction to kulintang. I hope more people learn about this instrument. Like how the Wagakki band beautifully incorporates traditional music in their rock songs. Is kulintang different from the gamelan played by Kontra-GaPi?
Undeniable this culture exist because Muslim in the Philippines were not conquered or defeated by 3 conquestadors or invaders. Thats the fact and credit goes to Muslim who are able to preserve this culture not only kulintang there are many.
I wish I can know the names of each "scales" or kulintang pots set names... The tones are so sounds organized that it subsconsciously prefered instead of random dissonant notes. Each "scales" you demonstrated are pentatonic subset of unaltered diatonic scale, which makes all "scales" shown are pleasant. I've waiting about this so long tbh 😂
@@TheHaroldAndre yes it did...actually I teach music at an elementary school in the United States, and this was one of the instruments I taught the kids about. THANK YOU!
you might want to look into similar bossed gongs around southeast Asia. Bonang (from Gamelan ensemble of Indonesia), Kong Wong (Thai), Kyi Waing (Myanmar), Talempong (Western Sumatra), etc. etc. they are quite similar in structure but they have different timbres and styles of playing. the closest to our sound, in my humble opinion, is Talempong of Minangkabau people (Western Sumatra)
Definitely! You may also use this complimentary video to help guide new listeners on what to hear when listening to (Maguindanao) kulintang music: ruclips.net/video/7b7iDVjvxPs/видео.html
Wonderful video, Harold! Thank you for giving us an overview of this amazing instrument. Do you have any textbook references or know of anyone that teaches lessons online?
Hi po, where can i find notes na number po? Gusto kopo sana kaseng matuto mag kulintang po. Hope ma notice po ninyo, thank you in advance and God bless ❤❤
maraming salamat din po, dr. royal hartigan! i am always inspired by your music and the way you tastefully incorporate traditional music into jazz with utmost respect and authenticity.
@@TheHaroldAndre i am humbled by your good vibes and appreciate your musical artistry, really wonderful! the culture and people of the philippines are an inspiration to me and i look forward to returning home when possible. diwa tan musika!
Do you have a project where in you combine rondalla and kulintang ensembles im dying searching for it.... I like how you story tell tho your smile is so cute po
for full Kulintang ensemble + full Rondalla ensemble, that I am not sure of. but for individual instruments. definitely check out the fusion quartet I am part of. Here's our cover of Ben & Ben's Susi. we regularly use kulintang and banduria / octavina: ruclips.net/video/_A0bXrnrEkA/видео.html
That's amazing! While you don't have your own set yet, you can start learning as early as now by listening to a lot of kulintang music. I guarantee that you will learn a lot faster when you finally start playin on an instrument having listened to a lot of different examples beforehand! Check out my other video on listening to kulintang ensemble performances: ruclips.net/video/7b7iDVjvxPs/видео.html
sir, paano tugtugin ang binalig.. sample slow mo naman.. kagaya mo, inisa isa ko rin ang bawat kulintang, nakita ko ang scale na ginamit nila , tama sa G kinuha...thank you
sir Gerald. sana po makagawa ako sa susunod ng mga video patungkol dito, medyo matrabaho lang nga po gumawa ng video talaga. at opo madalas ang unang pitch ng mga kulintang na nakikita ko ay G minsan G# o kaya A (siguro dahil sa common size ng lowest gong) pero hindi ibig sabihin na ito ang "key" dahil wala naman talaga konsepto ng "key" sa kulintangan. hehe curious po ako kung saan po kayo nagtuturo? dahil G7 teacher ang pangalan niyo. 😅
sir @@TheHaroldAndre sa Muntinlupa lang ako nagtuturo, topic lagi yan sa grade 7 Music of Mindanao, nanonood lagi ako sa mga video mo, at kay Kulintang master Danny Kalanduyan at kay Maam Aga Mayo. Sa panonood pa lang ay natututo na agad ako. Salamat sa mga videos. Tidtu, Tagunggo at Binalig yan po mga request kong how to play in simplest way salamat po.

Hello from Sabah, Malaysia.. Thank you for sharing this amazing video.. Here in Sabah we calld this kulintangan. 😁
Philippines is the original one
@@avianjohansson5672 give me proof
@@avianjohansson5672 I think it's the other way around. Dayak people in borneo come from Philippines through the Balabaic Strait, Palawan

is there any written documents or any evidence that supsport your statement?
kulintang is a malay/indonesian instrument originated in south east asia not by maranao
This is very useful Sir Harold. Hope you have webinars and lectures about Philippine and Asian music in the future.
They also used this instrument in a disney movie called "Raya and the Last Dragon"❤️
Wonderful introduction to the world of kulintang music, concise and effective. Will probably be using it in the future to introduce someone to this music ^^
thanks! i'm happy to help spread the wonderful world of kulintang music to more people. all the best!

Can you play Kaisa isa of Maguindanao in Kulintang?

kulintang is also famous in sabah/malaysia called kuliantagan or engkaubakar and the agung is also in Sabah /malaysia and its called tagung or gong
hi, can u recommend where we can find/buy kulintang from genuine kulintang makers
I want to have some Whole set of Gongs Someday.

@@TheHaroldAndre yes it did...actually I teach music at an elementary school in the United States, and this was one of the instruments I taught the kids about. THANK YOU!
Where in the US can someone buy a set of kulintang? I am in a band that would like to use one on our next album.
I guess the first time I heard this instrument is back in 1990 when I was playing "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (Deluxe)" on my dad's PC.
Amazing
Sinulog is my fav sound 😍
Very informative video! Salamat po :)
Ganda🥰🥰😊
can you hit the rim to form a sound?
yup! check out @3:44
What is kulintang sound quality?
Sir, are you based in the Philippines? Where at? Do you teach how to play kulintang? How can I connect with you?
may tanong po ako what is a proper way of playing kulintang
Striking on the ground
Plucking
Blowing
hitting with a stick
Hello! Question lang po, are there other instruments in which their sounds are similar to kulintang po? thank youu!
