Costumes

Characteristics of Cordillera Dances

The people of the Cordillera region hold similar religious beliefs. They often make offerings to anitos, and therefore, dances in that part of the Philippines are often used to appease their ancestors and gods. Their dances are mostly ritualistic- for weddings, for wars and battles, for harvests, etc., and portray the personalities of the tribe with their everyday life.

Musical instruments in the region are very unique, among those are the nose flute, bangibang, tongatong, diwdiw-as, saggeypo, and etc. That is why the music that accompanies their dances are also extremely distinctive.

Costumes

The costumes showed in the slide before are made of a thick woven material. The men wear long trips of loincloth out of this woven blanket called "Wanes", while the women wrap the material around their waist and call it "Lufid". More often than not, both men and women do not wear tops along with these articles of clothing.
