One of the most widely dispersed ethno-linguistic groupings in maritime Southeast Asia is the Sama-Bajau. This year’s Pesta Igal features igal dance and kulintangan music performances by the Bunga Arts Link and Sama-Bajau artists from Apalit, Pampanga; San Andres, Manila and Bongao, Tawi-Tawi.

Part I of the program is composed of traditional (igal kamattoahan), contemporary (igal pakiring) and mixed or hybrid (igal campur or igal lamud-lamud) pieces from the respective repertoires of the various participating groups.

Part II of the program premiers “Biradali,” a Sama-Bajau folk tale which is set into igal choreography by Bunga Arts Link artistic director, Dr. MCM Santamaria. Biradali is a pan-Asian narrative known as, among others, Widyadari in Java, Dedari in Bali, and Hagoromo in Japan.
