Kalaleng

Last Updated on August 20, 2020 by Paula

Everyone has his own, special, God-given talent.

I have a childhood friend who was into musical instruments I have never even heard of like nose flutes and bassoon reeds.

I was so clueless. All I know was the piano (which I never really mastered because piano teachers in our school were nuns who were so strict and had this wooden ruler to force you to play the right notes!) and the guitar.

My friend still plays beautiful music and is now into indigenous, Cordilleran music.

When she plays using the kalaleng (nose flute), I am mesmerized…

It is like I am transported back in time…
