caption_attribution_description: English: The dabakan is a Philippine, single-headed, drum made of jackfruit/coconut lumber topped with a lizard or goat skin drumhead. It’s the only non-drum instrument of the kulintang ensemble. In this image, a dabakan played by Master Danongan Kalanduyan accompanies the kutiyapi, a Philippine boat-lute, played by Dutuan Kalanduyan. Deutsch: Ein dabakan ist eine trommel auf den Philippinen, deren Geräuscherzeugung durch das Schwingen einer membran erfolgt. Sie besteht aus einem kelchförmigen Körper, der traditionell aus Kokosnusspalme ist und mit Haut von Rind und Schlangenleder bespannt ist.
context_page_description: The hegelung is a wooden two-stringed lute played by the Tboli, an animist ethnolinguistic group of southern Mindanao in the Philippines.
  The instrument is tall and slender, with nine frets. One string is used as a drone, and the other for melodic ornamentation. The performer playing the hegelung usually plays while dancing or with body movements and sometimes accompanies the instrument with singing.
  Tboli believed that they could learn to play the hegelung if they rubbed their fingers with an insect called a meglung and the leaves of the meglung vine because the names rhymed. They thought that rhyming names could help them acquire the skill to play the instrument.
