Aray (2'19) Ermita, Manila MIDI sequenced by Noel Tamayo |
|
A dance whose words are sung in "Chabacano-ermitense,"
a hybrid of Spanish that was only spoken in the Ermita district
before the turn of the century and today is extinct. The dance itself is a flirtatious one that involves graceful use of the pañuelo, or shawl, and tambourines. Aray means "ouch" in Tagalog.
