About this Song
A folk recording from the Philippines, "Itadyak (Mindanao)" features a female vocalist and a male chorus singing in unison, accompanied by a kulintang ensemble. The kulintang, a set of eight small, graduated gongs laid horizontally, takes the lead in the ensemble, playing a rapid, interlocking pattern. The other instruments—a dabakan, a goblet-shaped drum; a babandil, a suspended gong with a narrow rim; and an agung, a large, suspended gong with a wide, turned-in rim—provide rhythmic and harmonic support. The dabakan offers a steady, driving beat, while the babandil and agung add resonant accents to the overall texture.
