Community and the Filipino, and Music
24 Mar 2009 05:02 PM
Did you know that there are some places in the
Philippines where there does not exist a word that
translates as MUSIC?
Some tribal groups don't have a name for it, because it is not something which is separate from daily social activity. Music is something they DO, not really something they perform while an audience merely watches. It’s not something you have to buy, or dress up for, line up for or purchase tickets for. It’s interactive, it’s a community activity and everyone can participate..
I think the practice of music as a community activity is not exclusive to the tribes in the Philippines. We also have that in the city.
Now we know where the Filipino’s love for KARAOKE stemmed from. :P
