Bayanihan Dancers in Bahrain


Leading dancers from the Philippines' National Folk Dance Company, Bayanihan, performed at The Cultural Hall, near the Bahrain National Museum, in Manama as part of the Spring of Culture festival. The group, which has so far had 14 major world tours, presented a one-hour programme.

Their repertoire included ethnic dances of the Bagobo and T'boli tribes, a jota dance from the Spanish colonial era called, Mantones de Seda, various dances from Mindanao, southern Philippines, such as Singkil and the Pausjalay, and other dances of the country such as Maglalatik, Sabil and the world famous Tinikling (bamboo dance).
