This dance was choreograph by Bia Sheena Onlos of the Mansaka Tribe of Compostella Valley Province in Mindanao Philippines. This dance celebrates the bounty of nature and the beauty of the tribes in Bukidnon province.
Parang di naman ganyan sumayaw ang mga katribo ko dito sa Bukidnon. I have a very strong feeling that the choreo of this group is highly influenced by Sinulog or Dinagyang, wc is inspired by our aeta/ati/negrito brothers.
WandeRPh And why do you think the festival is called Kaamulan? Amul from the Binukid word of "gather". For the 7 tribes in Bukidnon to gather in unison in the festival. Kaamulan festival, the song used is the official song of Kaamulan festival.
Sadly this is not how kaamulan is danced even the outfits are not right. I see that it is shown in asean meeting I just Hope they gave the effort to study the bukidnon tribes dance and culture because they used our beloved ka tribu song . Kahit na inspired lang po Hindi po Tama. For example kahit kami na taga bukidnon ay d basta2x gumagawa at ginagamit Ang tribal dress nila nang walang consultation at tamang desinyo dahil nirerespeto namin Ang kanilang kultura.
Aside from the music, nothing about this is Bukidnon. Not the clothing, nor the dance. Or atleast nothing like what I've seen from years of attending Kaamulan.
I am from the capital city of Bukidnon and this is not our dance. Even the basic steps which is DUGSO and BINANOG was not performed. I'm a bit disappointed seeing this.
i must agree with you bro, i feel sad by just watching this.. especially from me na taga bukidnon.. kesyo inspired pa sya oh ano, i just dont see kaamulan inspiration in it..
yes po, sa sobrang kaba kc 11 na bansa po nanonood sa amin pero napa bilib sila dahil kakaiba daw yung nakita nilang sayaw, di pa daw nila ito nakita kahit kelan.
