YAKAN : MUSIKERO
Uwang Ilul Ahadas, a gifted musician from Bohe Bessey, Lamitan, and a member of the Lamitan Yakan Family Ensemble, is a recognized master of traditional Yakan instrumental music in the entire Yakan domain. He learned the fundamentals of playing the instruments of the peregeyan kwintangan from observing the Yakan elders. These instruments have since been Uwang’s constant companions.
