T'BOLI

The T'Boli performance was very interesting. A little more theatrical than I usually like, but still very fascinating. The T'Boli people resisted conversion to both Islam and Christianity, which says a lot for strength of will and mind. What got me was the very beginning of the show, which starts off with three women sitting down and singing. The first woman was singing in her T'Boli dialect, but the style of singing sounded like it was from China. Then the next woman sang, and I could have sworn that she was singing country music [although in her own dialect]. Very trippy. Still, it was pretty interesting. Another aspect of the T'Boli culture is their textiles/weavings. They were beautiful. Expensive, but beautiful.

My dad was also impressed [though he doesn't care much for one of the people in Kularts, who sponsored the show.] Anyway, it was a fun night, although I got lost in the Mission. I watched the show with my parents and The Baby Blog was also there as well. I guess GIMB2 is almost ready to burst!
