About this document

Salidumay: Kalinga Folk Song Lyrics by Jonard Darmis Tiña is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Salidumay is an indigenous folk song of the Igorot and Kalinga people of the northern Philippines [1]. It is traditionally not sung in Tagalog but Grace Nono recorded a popular version translating the lyrics [2]. Among the Itneg people, salidumay is the response song sung by young women to the songs of men during the weaving season [3]. The salidumay songs express gratitude and serve to indicate romantic acceptance or rejection.
