Beks, basta bakla nakaka relate sa singkil! Fierce at graceful kasi ang galawan!

Yes! And don’t forget Brunei and Taiwan! They share the same indigenous roots as us. I was shocked to see that the natives of Taiwan looks just like us and had the same cultural dance. Also, we are related to Polynesian people. We share the same cultural tattoos as well. It’s so crazy that we’ve all become so separate but still have some common language and tradition.

@@SuperheroComicsTakeover that's the cordillera area people they are the one who immigrates to an island to travel not all civilization also about the visayas? those people are srivijaya immigration since the time was hindu buddhism

Singkil is the Filipino version of the Ramayana, the story of God Ram (Hindu, Indian god). The reason for it being from India is because prior to the Spanish colonialistion, philippines was heavily Indianised and used to have Hinduism mixed with folk religion as its religion

@@kharlmichaelpura371 yes, exactly. All south east asian countries and even east asian countries have a lot of Indian influence since 1500-2000 years ago. It is most apparent in Thailand and Indonesia though, since they are extremely proud of their history and culture, but Malaysia doesn't like it's Hindu past since it's borderline radicalized islamic nation now. As for Philipines, Spanish colonialists were famous for brutal forced conversions and supressing indegenous cultures(more so in Mexico and south america, where all of Mayan books and knowledge was destroyed). Hence, the influences in Philipines decreased. Singkil is the filipino Ramayana, a story of God Ram (who is born as a human) whose wife is kidnapped by a demon king who takes her thousands of kilometres away to his kingdom and he raises an army of apes to defeat the demon king and get his wife back. Singkil initially showed the prince and princess as gods, and other religious things too, however after the region where it is performed became Muslim, they changed the gods to humans so that it doesn't clash with their religion. Extra fact: Thai kings have the title " Rama" because Lord Ram was considered the perfect ruler and perfect man( he was a prince in exile when his wife was kidnapped and later became king when his exile of 14 years was over.)

@@hardekailawadi You are correct Philippines was Indianized, however, it wasn't fully Indianized or Islamized. The powerful kingdoms were majority Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic. The majority of the archipelago though was Animistic, they believed in Anito or Dayaw.

It represents a part of Precolonial Philippines, not entirety. The reason being is because the powerful kingdoms were Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic. The majority of the archipelago though was Animistic, they believed in Anito or Dayaw.

Hi Ian, greetings to your mother! We still have all the videos from that day (8 dances are still to be edited). Not a single one will go missing .... the dance group was the reason why we do this. At some point I'll find time, then the next dance videos will come .... I can't promise anything, only that all 8 dances are safely stored and will find their way on KZfaq sometime whenever. In any case, none of her efforts will be lost.

we are same blood

basically yes.. even our native language.. not the filipino.. have a similarity with them.. regarding the traditional..sword you can find.. it in our tribe.. my father still keep one..

Maiden Malice syop judging the pilipinos

Maiden Malice its from the Hindu epic Ramayana. The trees falling (bamboo clapping) are when Maharadja Lawana (the demon king Rahwana in hinduism) tried to trap Putri Langkawi (Sita) between falling trees as she tried to escape him by gracefully avoiding them. If you want to see just how sophisticated and rich the Ramayana traditions could have been performed by pre-Hispanic Filipinos, its best to see the Ramayana theatre of Indonesia (Javanese and Balinese) and Cambodia. The Maranao, Tausug etc have preserved the repertoire the best way they could (in snippets only), as the Spanish made them poorer due to cutting off their trade links while simultaneously attacking them to gain a foothold of the sultanate as. Because of this, the old high cultures of the Maranao and Tausug changed to a more military village based culture, and coincidentally they became more islamised than before the Spanish came, (they saw themselves more as part of the Islamic world in reaction to Spanish hostility towards the Bangsamoro). The islamisation had cut off a lot of the sacred parts of the Ramayana and changed what was depicted (in Islam, you cannot depict things that don't have its base in Islam, as it's seen as apostasy, so many things had to be changed, including the clothing, and the roles of the main characters of the Ramayana, who were no longer seen as royal dewi (diwata), but mere human beings). This cut the Bangsamoro off from the Hindu Buddhist beliefs of their ancestors. By contrast, the Javanese despite being Muslim on the surface, kept their Hindu Buddhist culture fully intact, as there were no pressures by their colonisers (the Dutch) to convert to Christianity or westernise their culture. In this case, the Philippines drew the short straw of history as far as colonisers were concerned.

Maiden Malice Correct. A Filipino myself, studied the cultures and history of the Philippines in Middle School or like in Elementary. People wayback with Malay culture are called Borneos.

Adrian anong ginagawa mo?

worn at the Ankles, not at the foot, and the princess needs to be barefooted

Smart, though

🥰🥰🥰

yes the jingle bells ] are named singkil

The dance is 2000 years old

Sherwin Celeste doesn't matter what religion, cariñosa is just so plain, even though it's elegant. Singkil on the other hand is exotic and just fabulous in it's form and music.

@@SherwinCeleste-cj7ng religion isn't a point, is about the traditions of our country. Myself, as a very fanatic traditionalist Catholic (yet I'm a good sinner), I do respect the Filipinos who still have the pre-colonial culture like the Igorots, Bangsamoro, T'boli and many others.

Yes. Agree.

@@SherwinCeleste-cj7ng this is Hindu inspired not Muslim. Also it doesn't matter if it's Muslim or Hindu since Catholicism was only shoved at the throats of our ancestors

This dance was from pre-colonial Philippines, which meant no Europeans have touched Southeast Asia yet. Back then, Philippines often traded with Asia and had close ties with Indonesia and Malaysia, which meant that Philippines shared some culture with Malaysia and Indonesia. This dance is what's left of Philippines' shared culture with Indonesia and Malaysia.

@@barrybbenson9968 what you say is true about trade and this representing Precolonial Philippines BUT only a part of it. These mainly represents the south. The other powerful kingdoms Precolonial were Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic. The rest of the archipelago were Animistic, they believed in Anito or Dayaw

What you say is true but not entirely. The Philippines wasn't "Heavily" Indianized. The powerful kingdoms of Precolonial Philippines were Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic but the rest of the archipelago were Animistic. They believed in Anito or Dayaw.

it's the point of the dance, the princess NEEDS to be barefooted

Oo nga!😍

did you ever find the song?

I believe in u my brother.. The maranao their blood mixed because they are also descendants of indian brunie and indonesia so u can see ther culture like TOROGAN which is similar traditional house of indonesian and the singkil dance and Malong which is similar in indian and brunie was the first one they originated from mussel man dayak tribe, one of the most native people living in BRUNIE.. And when islam came to them, their blood was mixed in malaysia, so their language is deffirent from the indonesian malysian indian brunie and tausug, but their language are a little similar

There ain't no Hindu or Buddhist religions or influences here in the Philippines but animism and Islam came as the 1st monotheistic religion by the Indonesians Malaysians and brunein traders they're first became Muslim before us and they spread Islam and there rajahnate or sultanate and culture here that's why there is a kingdom of "amanillah" by rajah sulayman and as a maranao Ramayana has no connections or influences to us even in our traditional dance singkil. Singkil is a original maranao traditional dance and the word rajah means " king " to us is in our language and we still using it but we prefer using sultan or datu and Indo and Malay language has so many similarities to our language.

no thts the tradistion of maranap tribe not indian we maranao nver part of indian culture

​@@salmanmai1203funny we are marano blood of brunie and indian we call my tribe people.of the ranao maranao

Yeah but singkil is the hardest compared to tinikling and the music was different too and singkil was oldest since pre-colonial era of Philippines compared to tinikling during spanish era.

Jeon Junookie where you scared when you rode the bamboo and when are you going to do the dance because I will be doing it tomorrow(08/29/19)

At 8 min. 26 sec. you see the group picture with the musicians. The entire music was played live and there is no recording without a impact of the bamboo sticks. We're sorry, but we can't help.

Not muslim but pre-muslim or Pre-Islam. Malaysia, Philippines, and other Southeast Asian and East Asian countries were influenced by India. This dance is like the Maranao version of India's Ramayana. Also, dancing is haram in Islam so this is definitely a pre-Islam dance.

There's no such thing as Muslim dance. There are dances done by Muslim people, but Islam is a religion, one that forbids dancing and even music. The roots of this dance is a mix of native Austronesian and wider Asian bamboo dances (the Magunatip dance of Borneo, the Bamboo dance of Thailand, and the Mizoram bamboo dance of Nagaland India are examples of similar bamboo dances) with motifs from the Ramayana (Hindu culture, the religion these people were before Islam went there). Indonesian and Malaysians seem to forget Filipinos are their northern older kin. Austronesians moved south from the Philippines into Indonesia and the Malay archipelago to populate those islands. Maybe they can spread the word so Filipinos are not alienated or "othered" in their worldview.
