Answer :
1. What particular instruments do you hear were used in this recording?
-Kulintang and kubing is the most noticeable instrument in this song.
2. Were they used the same way as the traditional playing of the Kulintang ensemble? If yes, how?
- No, because the kulintang is performed by striking the gong bosses with two wooden beaters. While playing the kubing, the frame is held in the left hand and pressed against a player's lips facing outward, acting as a resonating chamber.
3. Does the song's melody and mood give you a feeling of the same traditional Mindanao ritual or celebration? If yes, why?
Yes, because as you hear the melody and the instruments used in the music, you can tell and feel where it came from, which is Mindanao.
4. What is the effect of using modern text and melodic progression and mixed with traditional Mindanao gong ensemble/other instruments on the modern generation?
- Technically, combining traditional music with modern styles results in a seemingly new type of sound. The use of a traditional going ensemble, like the use of other types of instruments, will add a new and distinct "flavor" to the contemporary sound or music
