The Department of Tourism should use folk songs like this lovely piece in PH tourism promotions to highlight our rich artistry and music. This song, especially that it is about nature, would serve best as soundtrack for Mindanao tourism ad.

The song is Koyu no tebulul from the tribe of T'boli of South Cotabato Mindanao. It tries to capture the reverberation of mountain singing with birds chirping and cricket. ❤

For those who want the lyrics' translation (like me), I found this comment from another rendition of this song: "There is a beautiful tree on top of the mountain It has soft leaves and needle-like thorns I wish to climb that tree on the mountain A bird rests on its branches How I wish I can catch the bird, but I know I cannot." Posting it here since this is by far my favorite rendition. I like the contrast of fluidity and crispness on this one. Also, there's something about the movements and facial expressions that shows the Filipino spirit - bright, soft, and sweet, but also: silently strong and resilient.

So Proud Of my T'Boli Tribe Culture of South Cotabato

I was not surprised with the song specially the melody because when I lived with the Bagubo tribe in North Cotabato in the 70's, I heard the children singing with same melody but I did not understand because I speak bisaya. They danced in circle around the fire at night and they even asked me to join them. Their tribe leader an old widow woman named Bagungan was watching them closely smiling. I was 8 years old that time.

I saw this from a reel in IG and loved every second of it. It feels like it was being sung as Southern Philippines was being created. I am from Manila but my dad is Ilocano and my mom is from Manila (Batangas and Quezon Province decent). It would be awesome to have this kind of symphonic music with each dialect and each province. I truly am into somewhat "rock tribal" music. Mostly I have listened to The Hu (Mongolian), Skald (Finish or Danish), and ofcourse Babanam by Kadangyan But this is just amazing...

I repeated the end 5 times! I can't get over it! Gosh!!!! Love it!

This rendition makes me long for a place I’ve never been to…. Fernweh.. ❤😢

Hope we can preserve our culture. This song really touched my soul.

@@Vic82toire By your very definition, it had been stripped. Hundreds of years of colonization will do that. Filipinos didn’t just casually forget. Our native culture and language were mocked and deemed inferior by the colonizers so our ancestors had to adjust. People suffered for it so they had no choice but to favor Spanish culture. Filipinos then were rewarded for knowing and using Spanish over Tagalog or other native dialect because it implied being “educated” and belonging in the upperclass. In that same grain, it translated to music and the rest of the culture. It’s no different today when with comes to English fluency and foreign music/arts. It has been ingrained in us for so long that “local” is inferior and that’s difficult to unlearn. Unless we actively promote and push for this renaissance in mainstream media, sadly this part of our culture is a novelty at best since it doesn’t exist in our daily lives now.
