![]() Have you noticed on YouTube all the Philippino tribal dancing?
There's suddenly loads of it in different villages on different events. Young men wear native loincloths then bang gongs and drums while they dance. It's very effective they look powerful especially those that have feathered head dresses. Each village seems to have their own coloured and patterned loincloth probably from hand woven fabric. It's a challenge to Western dress code conformity returning to what they wore before they were colonised and celebrating their own culture. Good on them. |

![]() Oh! Many reels of a man or two dancing in loincloth surfaced in my Facebook. They came out of nowhere (not selected by myself), I watched one. Were those Filipinos? I need to look them up somehow.

![]() The Philippino loincloth has an apron front and there is a loop at the rear that hangs down.
The male dancers are often playing drums or gongs, a group of them building a complex rythm while they dance. Young women join the dance wearing sarongs and shirts. Some of the more inexperienced young men wear briefs under their loincloths but give them up as they become more experienced and confident. It is an expression of youth and masculinity without being indecent. Go onto YouTube and search Philippino dancing if it doesn't pop up on it's own in the shorts. |
