Opening with a throbbing percussion ensemble, this two volume set will surprise and excite anyone unfamiliar with the music of the Magindanao. The Magindanao are a group of native Muslims that reside in the southern part of the Phillipines. Their music relies on gongs, lutes, zithers and a number of other instruments. This album presents several percussion ensembles, along with individual solos on a variety of different instrument. Vol. 2 (included) features solo and group vocal performances including epic recitations, love songs, and religious chants.
