Waway Saway demonstrates Talaandig instruments

April 11, 2013 in Philippine Master Artist-In-Residency, Uncategorized

Talaandig Tribal Leader Waway Linsahay Saway demonstrates traditional Talaandig instruments

Tribal leader Waway Saway shows and explains the Katyapi, a lute/guitar of the Talaandig tribe of Bukidnon in the Philippines. This is the 9th Katyapi that he personally made. It took him 2 weeks to make and designed it after the Python. The Katyapi is usually designed after the Lizard. This Katyapi is for sale at $1,200, contact info@kularts.org for details.

He shows and explains the Hulagteb, a bamboo flute with exquisite etched design inspired by nature. There are three for sale, starting at $60. Contact info@kularts.org for details.

Waway Saway explains the Tambuleleng, an indigenous musical instrument that he invented and made. It can be played by plucking/strumming or as a two string violin with a bow. The body of the instrument can also be used for percussion. This instrument is for sale, starting at $1,000. For details, contact info@kularts.org 

Here, he demonstrates the Kubing, also known as the Jaw Harp. It is used as a musical instrument in the T’boli as well as the Talaandig tribe. Long before the use of electronic devices as a means of communication came to be, the Talaandig tribe had the Kubing as a device that transmitted a form language that is spoken purely through music. Inspired by the sound of the Hornbill, the Taalandig use the Kubing as an instrument for courtship. These instruments are for sale, 2 for $5. Contact info@kularts.org for details.

More info on Soil Painting:

The Talaandig, an indigenous people of Bukidnon, create soil paintings with the earth of their tribal lands, bound to the canvas using white glue.  Created in the soothing tones of browns, reds, and grays of the soil, the subject matter also reflects tribal beliefs, practices, and their close association with the land. All sales of soil paintings benefit the Talaandig painters and tribe.

Soil painting is promoted as an artistic and creative medium for cultural awareness, education and preservation of indigenous cultural heritage of the Talaandig People and other tribes of Mindanao. Based on principles of self-governance, self-reliance, and cultural sovereignty, the project uses soil painting as a medium for peace campaign and advocacy in Mindanao and around it.
