 What is It

Most of the instruments in Cordillera, Mindoro, Palawan, and Visayas are

used as rhythmic accompaniment. There are only a few which are used for
melodic accompaniment.
But whether it is used as rhythmic and/or melodic accompaniment, the
instrumentalist would always follow a rhythmic pattern as a guide on how to
accompany a song or as a harmonic support for the melody.
Using a rhythmic pattern, you can improvise your own rhythmic/melodic
accompaniment.

Watch and listen to Lantege a Pala’wan & Tagbanua Love Song

accompanied by a Pagang at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQWbxldMry0
or ask a copy of the video from your teacher.

Observe the accompaniment guided by the rhythmic pattern given below.

 Instrument used for accompaniment:
 Pagang (for rhythmic and melodic accompaniment)
 Ryhthmic Pattern: Free Meter
