Understanding Kumintang: Music and Dance by Rosdy Hazel Abad- Vidad is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Kumintang refers to several distinct styles and forms in Filipino music and dance, including circular hand and wrist movements known as kunday and a guitar plucking style that accompanies pandangguhan dance songs. Kumintang originated as an ancient war song from Batangas that expresses Filipino history, character, and tradition, and has a musical style defined by a 3/4 time signature, minor tonic-dominant progression, and quasi-recitative melodic line with four-line stanzas of twelve syllables each.
