Job/Business: I'm an ethnomusicologist specialized in the traditional ("tribal") music of the Philippines. Since 1976, I've been visiting there, all in all for about three years, documenting the music of the mountain tribes on the island of Mindanao. My favorite Philippine instrument is the so-called boat lute (kutiyapi, hegelung, kuglung etc.), a slender 2-stringed lute which might range between 60-200 cm in length. My research is going on and on and on...

Organizations: Free-lancing with many connections to institutions in the field of ethnomusicology and anthropology, e.g. Ethnological Museum Berlin, Free University Berlin etc.

Thanks for posting a comment in my page. I'm not sure though but I think we might belong to the same e-group(alibata). About my pic, ah yes, this was taken in one conference here in Davao City. It's hegelung right? i just borrowed it actually from a grassroots inspired music group. Kudyapi or Hegelung, must admit that it is a very interesting instrument. I wish to own one actually.
As an ethnic music expert, i take it that you already have record copies of various grassroots music. Hope you could share a bit of it online, would love to listen to them Hans...
Salamat...

She is planing to return to the Philippines in October and wishes to visit the Kaamulan Festival in Malaybalay next February.
On Sunday we will visit her at her house in Yorkshire and I will mention that we have communicated.
Kind regards.
