Why Philippine Music Is So Deeply Embedded in The Culture: Notes on Filipino History

research topics about music in the philippines

By Paul de Guzman March 20, 2020, Tatler Philippines

Are we Filipinos because we love music, or do we love music because we are Filipinos?

This feature story was originally titled as Historical Notes , and was published in the August 2008 issue of Tatler Philippines

Seems as if music is the one field in which Filipinos can’t help but succeed. We send a singer to an international competition and he or she will almost certainly come home with a prize, if not the top prize. Let a homegrown show band play at a cruise ship or the bar of a chain hotel and it’s sure to give guests a good time. Still, winning international singing competitions or entertaining hotel guests doesn’t begin to speak of how much music means to Filipinos. To be Filipino is to have a soundtrack album built into your life⁠—there’s music for every occasion or emotion. Nothing is too mundane to be unworthy of music.

Because music is valuable, our cultural heritage has become rich, colourful, and vibrant⁠—just like the people who create it. But few of us can truly claim to having a fine understanding and appreciation of our cultural heritage. Felipe de Leon Jr., professor of art studies at the University of the Philippines Diliman, says that being unaware of the beauty of our culture is a liability. The lack of cultural awareness muddles our sense of identity.

Getting in touch with our musical roots⁠—and understanding that music says as much about us as history and the other arts⁠—can have the grandeur of looking deep into our souls, as well as the simplicity of knowing our name.

De Leon says that Filipinos are “among the most highly relational people in the world”⁠—we simply love to connect with others. We work in big groups. A party that doesn’t involve the entire community is unimaginable, when a Filipino woman has to go to the restroom, her friends often tag along, no questions asked. To most Filipinos, being close to others⁠—and the self disclosure and inquisitiveness involved in connecting with others⁠—often trumps privacy.

The preference for a sense of community in favour of individuality manifest itself in traditional Filipino music. Whereas classical Western music strictly follows the seven-note diatonic scale (the “do re mi”) with sharps and flats in between each note, traditional Filipino music has “no isolated notes,” de Leon points out. The music of indigenous cultures and even of many Muslim and Christian Filipinos tends to be “bridged by slides or a microtonal continuum.”

For example: If a Western singer could go from “mi” to “fa” in one step, the traditional Filipino singer sees that single step as a big jump, since many notes lie between “mi” and “fa”, notes that Westerners don’t even know exist. This is why you often encounter the hagod style of singing in Filipino music, where the singer glides or slides between notes.

Traditional Filipino music also speaks of how we perceive time. Before the arrival of Westerners, Filipinos didn’t have a strict concept of how time should be divided. There were no seconds that made up a minute, no minutes that made up an hour, no hours that made up a day. Filipinos didn’t think of time as something that should be divided into small components, but as something that is huge and whole, something that moves like a stream. Because of this, there is also a flowing quality to our music. This is most evident in the way members of the Kalinga tribe play the tongali (nose flute), which sounds fluid and graceful.

INDIVISIBLE FROM LIFE

Regardless of which part of the country we are in or which ethnic group we belong to, we will always have music playing in the background of our daily activities. Sometimes, it even takes centre stage.

Many indigenous cultures even see music as something that can never be detached from their lives—some cultures don’t even have a generic term for vocal music, or even “music” in general ( CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, 1994). These are the Filipinos who live “closest to nature” says de Leon. These include the peoples of the Cordillera, the Mangyan, the Aeta and the lumad (indigenous communities) of Palawan and the Mindanao highlands.

Adds de Leon: “Life to them is an indivisible whole. Art, myth, ritual, work and activities of everyday life are all integrated into one. Spirit and matter, God and nature, the visible and invisible worlds are not a dichotomy but interpenetrate in many ways. Of all Filipino subcultures, indigenous art is the most integrated with everyday life, multifaceted and participative.”

There are songs to celebrate every turn of the life cycle—the Kalinga sing an owiwi to talk about a child’s life, or a dagdagay to predict what will happen to him in the future. They also have music to accompany the first time a child is bathed outside the house ( dopdopit ) or to celebrate the first time a child wears a necklace ( kawayanna ). They sing songs for married couples, which include the tamuyong , a prayer for blessing; the dango, a sort of “thank-you” song; and the dangdang-ay , a love song that serves to entertain. Songs for death are also present, such as the Bontoc’s didiyaw . The Ifugao, meanwhile, sing the bangibang to avenge someone who died unexpectedly.

There are songs for work. The Aeta call their work songs duduru , and pray before planting by singing a panubad . The Bontoc sing the sowe-ey while pounding rice, the Kalinga the daku-yon while hunting bats, the Batac the didayu while making wine, and the Ilongot the dinaweg while catching boar.

The music of many of our indigenous cultures is often improvised and communal. “The culture  puts emphasis on the creative process rather than on the finished product, making conception and performance simultaneous activities,” says de Leon. “Musical form is open-ended to provide maximum opportunity for creative communal interaction,” he adds.

When Islam arrived in the country in the 14th century, the culture and way of life of many of our indigenous peoples were enriched. It was the time when, according to de Leon, “West Asian mysticism” began to blend with “Southeast Asian animism”.

Inevitably, the music of the Moro—the Magindanaw and Tausug, the Maranaw and Yakan, among others—also manifested the influence of Islam’s arrival. Although all prayer is now directed to Allah instead of to nature and the spirits, many of the old qualities of indigenous music remained. There were still songs to celebrate movements in the life cycle and song for work—such as kwintangan kayu , which is performed by the Yakan for the growth of rice; bata-bata , a Tausug lullaby; and dikir , which is sung by the Maranaw during a wake or a funeral.

A wealth of religious music also developed after the arrival of Islam. This consisted of vocal music that corresponds to the Friday call to prayer ( Salathul Juma ), Ramadan ( Tarawe ) and the birth of Muhammad ( luguh maulud ).

Musical instruments also speak of the character and values of the Filipino Muslim. The gong, although present in most indigenous cultures, is one of the most distinctive. It can be used alone or in a row ( kulintang ). Writing for the Cultural Centre of the Philippines (1989), Antonio Hila points out that the kulintang ensemble is considered the “most cultivated of the region’s musical expressions.” It is not only used to entertain family and guests but “also serves as a venue for social interaction and group solidarity and for learning ethical principles.”

THE SPANISH INFLUENCE

The Spanish colonisation changed Filipino music forever. The Spanish brought with them their own musical traditions and instruments, which dominated Filipino musical expression in the last 400 years. And through contact with other Spanish colonies, music from the Americas (Cuba and Argentina, among others) also had an influence on our music. The mathematically precise divisions, not to mention the strict forms of Western music were alien to the native Filipino. Soon the locals adopted these forms and traditions.

Music was used by the friars to convert Filipinos to Roman Catholicism. The friars taught children their strange music—often speaking of a God that was alien to them, in languages that were equally alien. The children were also made to sing in church. After their musical education, these children were made to teach other children the white man’s music.

This “pay it forward” mode of music teaching reached its peak when Filipinos started writing their own misas and cantatas . Marcelo Adonay started as an altar boy at the San Agustin Church, learned music on his own and at the Colegio de Niños Tiples, and by the 1860s started writing celebrated religious music that earned for him the reputation “Palestrina of the Philippines”.

The arrival of foreign secular musical forms also led to the creation of new ones, such as the balitaw and the sarswela . De Leon points out that contrary to popular belief, the quintessential Filipino love song is not the kundiman but the danza . The danza , which developed and became popular during this period, was influenced by the habanera and the tango . Running in 2/4 time, it was the template from which such later love songs as “ Dahil Sa ’Yo ” and “ Hindi Kita Malimot ” were made.

The kundiman , meanwhile, is only occasionally a love song. According to de Leon, the kundiman is “devotional and spiritual,” which corresponds to its running in triple metre—long considered to represent the Holy Trinity in medieval Western music. Enduring examples of the kundiman are Jocelynang Baliwag, which inspired the revolutionaries of Bulacan in 1896, and the later “ Bayan Ko “.

AMERICAN ARRIVAL

Western influence became even more widespread with the coming of the Americans. Not only did they bring their language, educational system and way of life; they also brought with them their music. American popular music brought the notion that music could be used purely for entertainment—hence the popularity of dance halls, vaudeville, radio and movie music.

Naturally, Filipinos started writing and performing music in the mode of American popular music. Katy de la Cruz, for example, reigned as “queen of bodabil (vaudeville)” during this period and even after the Second World War, and popularised the jazzy classic,” Balut “.

research topics about music in the philippines

The American colonial period saw Filipinos mastering the Western classical idiom, as they started performing and creating classical pieces. Operas, which became popular in the country, produced such talents as Jovita Fuentes, who received acclaim for her international performances.

Composers trained in classical composition premiered works that were infused with a distinctively Filipino sensibility. Nicanor Abelardo, besides writing European-style classical pieces, created art songs in the mould of the kundiman —” Mutya ng Pasig “, “ Nasaan Ka Irog “, and “ Kundiman ng Luha “, among others.

The classical composers of the period showed and proved themselves equally adept in creating popular pieces. Francisco Santiago wrote not only “Concerto in B-flat minor” and the art song or kundiman “Madaling Araw” but also the music for numerous sarswelas .

Even after the Philippines became a republic, the many ephemeral forms of American popular music continued to attract Filipinos.

Some of the most popular artists in the decades following the World War II were great mimics—artists who sound almost exactly like their foreign counterparts like a local Elvis Presley (Eddie Mesa) and Perry Como (Diomedes Maturan). The practice of translating the lyrics of songs into Filipino also became prevalent. Rico J Puno, for instance, adapted “The Way We Were” into the song “Luneta”.

But there were also a number of “original” voices that emerged during this period, some of them using the time’s dominant musical forms as a model for their compositions, or borrowing from earlier traditions. Examples are “Hahabolhabol”, as popularised by Bobby Gonzales and Sylvia La Torre; “Magellan” and “Mag-Exercise Tayo Tuwing Umaga”, written and performed by Yoyoy Villame.

Over the years, pop composers, musicians and performers came to be embraced by a progressively larger segment of their target audience, making the entity that came to be known as Original Pilipino Music (OPM) not only highly commercially viable but accessible and formally diverse. There were ballads (such as George Canseco’s “Ngayon at Kailanman”) and rock songs (“Ang Himig Natin” by the Juan de la Cruz Band), as well as disco, jazz and rap songs.

Artists also tried harder to bring more “originality” to the concept of OPM by borrowing from the music that is originally Filipino—that is, the music of indigenous cultures. They used indigenous musical instruments together with “modern” electric guitars and synthesisers.

Folk-pop, although initially influenced by American folk musicians, quickly evolved to become a truly Filipino musical form. Music conceived and produced in this mode often had a sociopolitical bent. Among the artists who excelled in this fi eld were Freddie Aguilar (“Anak”), Florante (“Ako’y Pinoy”) and Heber Bartolome (“Tayo’y mga Pinoy”).

DIVERSITY AND HERITAGE

The diversity in musical styles, subjects and traditions reflects the many facets of our musical heritage. It also speaks of the vibrancy of our culture—some beliefs and practices remain the same, others adapt to the changing times, still others are created to respond to emerging needs.

Sadly, the Filipino capacity to adapt can be far more dynamic than our need to preserve old practices and traditions. Because of this, many of the things that make us truly Filipino are disappearing. But there are efforts at preserving our musical heritage and making it accessible to the public. For instance, the Filipinas Heritage Library (FHL), houses the Himig Collection: nearly 2,000 vinyl recordings that represent many forms of Filipino music, such as indigenous, Spanish and American-influenced, folk and pop. The records invite us to listen closely to our story as Filipinos in all its intricate glory, and be reminded that music and the soul are indivisible.

As of 2019, the Filipinas Heritage Library and Ayala Museum underwent a renovation and are expected to reopen this 2020.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will conduct a research to map out, assess, and define the Philippine music industry.

research topics about music in the philippines

To be led by the DOST’s National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP), the new policy research is in support of the proposed House Bill (HB) No. 8101 or the Philippine Creative Industries Act.

With a title, “MusikaPilipinas: Research and Mapping Towards Understanding, Scoping, and Defining the Philippine Music Industry”, the study “aims to provide a comprehensive baseline of the economic performance of the Philippine music industry...and the specific structure of its players, transactions and creative and production dynamics.”

“It also intends to identify prospects and challenges for an effective reference on cultural policy to be utilized in the process of building a more vibrant and dynamic Philippine music industry,” the DOST said in a statement.

The research project will be led by Dr. Ma. Alexandra I. Chua of the DOST-NRCP Division of Humanities.

It seeks to produce a comprehensive mapping, scoping and defining of the music industry in the country to provide an analysis of the its market and current state, particularly providing information and assessment of its socio-cultural and economic data.

“This is undertaken to reveal opportunities and vulnerabilities in the country’s music ecosystem in order to suggest key areas for development for the future - including the kind of government intervention possible in support of the growth of the music industry,” the DOST said.

According to the agency, target beneficiaries of the project are artists, music agents, promoters, managers, producers, cultural policy makers and executives, among others.

The DOST said the study’s potential impacts are creation of stable jobs for musicians, producers, and music managers, better support for artists in sustaining their livelihood in music, economic growth for the country, and cultivate sense of pride for Filipino composed music.

The rapid spread of kpop in our country has made a great impact on our people. More and more students in our school are being influenced by the groove and rhythm of kpop music. Kpop fits in our generation particularly in the 21 st generation which has already accepted the Kpop civilization. Most schools in the Philippines has been also conquered by the kpop music, it has ruled the school. Kpop generation is caused by globalization through the use of internet. That is why most of us people are updated in the happenings in our world. And like many other organizations in the internet, organizations' regarding Kpop is one of them. Facebook, Twitter and many other are social networking cites where group of people in favor of Kpop are present. We had made questions concerning about what are the psychological effects of kpop and will it affect the academic performance in the students in our school. We gathered concepts regarding pop culture (how pop music is accepted and talked from the people) and fandom theory (how fandom was utilized and enacted throughout people) to further analyze and to complete this research. The respondents were the 3 rd and fourth year classes of Lorma Colleges Special Science High School (LCSSHS) students excluding our class. This study will contribute for better understanding of people about the significance of kpop on the fans, and how it will affect people's lives.

Specifically it attempts to answer the following questions: what is the socio-demographic profile of the students in terms of age and gender; what are the factors that influence the Filipino teenagers specifically the Senior High School students to watch Korean dramas and what are the impacts of Korean dramas among the Senior High school students of Marinduque Midwest College in terms of Lifestyle and Behaviors. The method utilized in this study was mixed method both qualitative and quantitative research. Respondents of this study were 106 senior high school students and selected using purposive sampling technique. Self-constructed questionnaire-checklist lifted from different sources and adapted by the researcher was utilized to gather necessary data for this study. Data were presented using graphs and tables. Frequency, percentage, ranking and weighted mean were used to analyze and interpret the data gathered. Results showed that the main factors why most of the Senior High school students are attracted to watch Korean dramas were because of the fact that it features good-looking actors/actresses (Cast) and simply the content/stories each Korean dramas depicts. Results further showed that majority of the respondents spent more than 5 hours in watching and sacrifice mostly their sleep. Topping the list of what the students adapt/pick up in watching were the language and Fashion/Style. Considering the foregoing conclusions, the researchers recommend the following: 1) The researchers recommend future researchers to tackle and focus on the content of Korean dramas through using content analysis research; 2) The researchers recommend future researchers to conduct a study on a comparative analysis between Korean teledramas and Filipino Teledramas; 3) The researchers recommend future researchers to tackle and focus on the impact of watching Korean dramas on the academic performance of the students; 4) The Future researchers may conduct further and in-depth studies on the impact of Korean dramas among the Filipino youths; 5) The researchers have recommended that the Senior High school students should practice time-management and use their time wisely when it comes in watching.

Drawing on qualitative interviews with Canadian-based K-pop (contemporary South Korean “idol pop” music) fans, this study discusses how transnational fans experience and interpret K-pop as a form of cultural hybridity that facilitates global imagination. In particular, the study explores how fans consume and translate transnational pop music while engaging with different modes of global imagination in their everyday lives. In so doing, the study contributes to a better understanding of the text and context of K-pop from the lens of audiences’ negotiation with globalization.

This research paper focused on the relationship of South Korean influence, particularly K-pop and K-drama, to the Nationalism of Grade 12 ABM and HUMSS students in EAC-SHS. It includes the strands in EAC-SHS who have the greatest number of students who are interested to either K-pop, K-drama or both. The researchers of this study found out that there is indeed a relationship between the two involved subject matters (South Korean influence and Nationalism of students) as there are respondents of the study who scored low in the test about Philippine Culture and high in the test part about South Korean Culture. The paper provided a list of the things that Filipinos, specifically the youth, can do to balance their interest towards other countries and patriotism to the Philippines given that there is a tendency of today’s generation to admire other culture which in this study is South Koreans, and appreciate less the Philippine culture in terms of its music and telenovelas.
