The Transcontextualization of Indigenous Vocal Music: A Case of Alangan Mangyans in Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
Abstract
This study centers on the process of transcontextualization of indigenous vocal music among Alangan Mangyan within the context of mining exploration. The ethnography sketches the indigenous vocal music of the Alangan Mangyan and the influences of etic or popular music. This paper examines the dialectic relationship between emic or indigenous vocal music and etic or popular music. Primarily, the paper argues that mining exploration in the ancestral domains of the Alangan Mangyans is a significant force in the process of transcontextualization of indigenous vocal music.
