Adongko Dongko a Gakit (5-4)

Our fifth grade young musicians explored the music of the Philippine Islands with a wedding procession piece called "Adongko Dongko a Gakit". This selection uses authentic Filipino percussion instruments in an ensemble called "kulintang". Classes learned to play these rhythms on our own classroom instruments as we rotated through several "rhythmic rotations”. Back to Video Gallery Menu
