Culture Philippines
Musical e as Pilipinos love music. It is one of those
traits that run through our blood and
Instrument culture that stems back to precolonial
times as we danced and sang while
working in the fields, completed rituals of
planting and harvest, before a raid, and in
celebrations. Even the Spaniards noted our
affinity with the sounds of music. Today,
majority of the world acknowledges the
musical talents and passion of Pilipinos in
the diaspora.

USA
Musical instruments are
important throughout the
Americas. A few indigenous
instruments can be made in
an hour or two by virtually
anyone in the community
from materials readily
available in the natural
environment. Other
instruments require weeks
or even months to make by
a specially trained
craftsman using materials
prepared by different
individuals. Many musical
instruments carry symbolic
significance, which appears
in the ways instruments are
used, decorated, named, or
handled before and after
use. The names of
instruments may reflect
ideas about social
relationships; for example,
Anishnabe water drums
come in two sizes, called
grandfather and little
boy. Decorations often
have spiritual significance or
refer to sacred narratives.
Some instruments are
thought to be sentient and
require respectful treatment.
