SINGKILAN MUSIC PIECE
BACKGROUND: This Singkilan piece is an adaptation of the music for Singkil - a traditional dance by the Maranao people (Southern island of Mindanao), based on the epic Darangen legend (itself said to be an adaptation of the Ramayana).
"Singkil" =The name of the dance itself means “to entangle the feet with disturbing objects such as vines or anything in your path”. -Originally it was only danced by women, and usually of royalty. Others also state it is a martial arts manoeuvre reflecting advanced footwork agility.
See here for written descriptive details of the Singkil dance, with a useful demonstrative video:
http://philippine-folk-dance.blogspot.com/2010/05/singkil.html
Pinikpikan - is the name of the Band performing the piece we heard. As I mentioned, it is also the name of a chicken dish, which takes its name from the Ilocano term "pikpik" meaning "to hit repeatedly".  The pikpik  preparation of the Pinikpikan chicken dish is actually originally associated with indigenous rituals of the Igorot (from Northern island of Luzon) http://bontoccuisine.blogspot.com/2010/11/origins-of-pinikpikan.html
The Band Pinikpikan performance purpose and instruments of the ATAS album songs: http://www.tropical-music.com/index2.html?http://www.tropical-music.com/medium_detail/68821_e_cd.html
The band has now changed its name to KALAYO > meaning "fire" in Cebuano (Central Visayan island).
