Hudhud Chants of the Ifugao
The hudhud is recited and chanted among the Ifugao people - known for their rice terraces
- during the sowing and harvesting of rice, funeral wakes and other rituals. Estimated to
have originated before the 7th century, the hudhud - comprised of some 40 episodes -
often take three or four days to recite. The language of the chants, almost impossible to
transcribe, is full of repetitions, synonyms, figurative terms and metaphors. Performed in a
leader/chorus style, the reciter - often an elderly woman - occupies a key position in
society. There is only one tune, common to the entire region, for all of the verses. Very few
written examples of hudhud exist.

Threats: The conversion of the Ifugao to Catholicism weakened their traditional culture.
The hudhud was linked to the manual harvesting of rice which is now mechanized. It has
been replaced at funeral wakes by television and radio. Although the rice terraces are
inscribed on the World Heritage List, the number of cultivators continues to decrease. The
few people who know all the poems are very old, and young people are not interested in
this tradition.
Hudhud hi Aliguyon
( Ifugao )

Once upon a time, in


a village called
Hannanga, a boy was
born to the couple
named Amtalao and
Dumulao. He was
called Aliguyon.
He was an intelligent, eager
young man who wanted to
learn many things, and
indeed, he learned many
useful things, from the
stories and teachings of his
father. He learned how to
fight well and chant a few
magic spells. Even as a
child, he was a leader, for
the other children of his
village looked up to him with
awe.
Upon leaving childhood,
Aliguyon betook himself
to gather forces to fight
against his fathers
enemy, who was
Pangaiwan of the village
of Daligdigan.
But his challenge
was not answered personally
by Pangaiwan. Instead, he
faced Pangaiwans fierce son,
Pumbakhayon.
Pumbakhayon was just as
skilled in the arts of war and
magic as Aliguyon. The two of
them battled each other for three years, and
neither of them showed signs of defeat.
The two of them
battled each
other for three
years, and
neither of them
showed signs of
defeat.
Their battle was a tedious one,and it has been
said that they both used only one spear! Aliguyon
had thrown a spear
to his opponent at
the start of their
match, but the fair
Pumbakhayon had
caught it deftly
with one hand. And
then Pumbakhayon
threw the spear back to Aliguyon, who picked it
just as neatly from the air.
At length Aliguyon and
Pumbakhayon came to
respect each other, and
then eventually they came
to admire each others
talents. Their fighting
stopped suddenly.
Between the two of them
they drafted a peace treaty between Hannanga
and Daligdigan, which their peoples readily
agreed to. It was fine to behold two majestic
warriors finally side by side.
Aliguyon and Pumbakhayon
became good friends, as peace
between their villages flourished.
When the time came for
Aliguyonto choose a mate,
he chose Pumbakhayons
youngest sister,Bugan, who was little more than a
baby. He took Bugan into his household and cared for
her until she grew to be most beautiful.
Pumbakhayon, in his
turn, took for his wife
Aliguyons younger
sister, Aginaya. The two
couples became
wealthy and respected
in all of Ifugao.
MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS
1.Gangsa is a single hand-held smooth
surfaced gong with a narrow rim. A set of
gangsa, which is played one gong per
musician, consists
of gangsa tuned to
different notes,
depending on
regional or local
cultural
preferences.
Gangsa is played in two ways. One way is called
"toppaya" and the other is called "pattung."

In "toppaya" style, the musicians play the


surface of the gangsa with their hand while
in a sitting position, with a single gangsa
resting on the lap
of each musician.
In the "pattung" style, a gangsa is
suspended from the musician's left hand
and played with a padded stick held in
the musician's right hand. In the
"pattung" style of playing, the players are
standing,
or they keep in
step with the
dancers while
bending
forward slightly.
2. Kalaleng or Tongali (nose flute) Because
the kalaleng is long and has a narrow internal
diameter, it is possible to play different
harmonics through overblowingeven with the
rather weak airflow from one nostril. Thus, this
nose flute can play notes in a range of two and a
half octaves. Finger holes in the side of the
bamboo tube change the operating length, giving
various scales. Players plug the other nostril to
increase the force of their breath through the
flute. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_flute)
3. Tongatong
-is a bamboo percussion instrument used by
the people of Kalinga to communicate with
spirits during house blessings. It is made of

directly across the top. The pipe can be played
individually by one person or in ensembles of
three or more.
