What are the musics of cordillera?

Cordillera music, or Cordillera folk music, is the traditional folk music of the indigenous peoples of the Cordillera region in the Philippines. The Cordillera region is home to a diverse group of ethnic groups, including the Igorot, Kalinga, Bontoc, and Ifugao people, each with their own distinct musical traditions.

Cordillera music is characterized by its use of gongs, bamboo flutes, and other traditional instruments. The music is often polyrhythmic and polyphonic, and it is often used for ceremonial purposes. Some of the most famous examples of Cordillera music include the "Hudhud" chants of the Ifugao people, the "Kalinga Ullalim" of the Kalinga people, and the "Sagay-o" music of the Bontoc people.
