FIL: Isang uri ng tradisyonal na awit o tula na pasalaysay, partikular sa mga pangkat etniko tulad ng Maranao at Maguindanao, na kadalasang inaawit sa mga mahahalagang okasyon.
EN: narrative chant
This is an epic chant, a traditional form of storytelling through song, especially in Mindanao. Think of it as the original Filipino rap battle or spoken word poetry, but with more cultural weight and history. It’s not your typical pop song; it's a performance art that carries the stories of a people.
From Maranao 'bayok'.
Specific to certain ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines, particularly the Maranao and Maguindanao peoples. It's a key part of their oral traditions.
