Islamic Music
Islamic music refers to music that is created
within the context of Islamic culture, often
featuring themes and melodies inspired by
Islamic teachings, traditions, and values. This
music typically adheres to Islamic principles
such as avoiding lyrics that promote sinful
behavior or excessive sensuality. Traditional
Islamic music can vary widely depending on
regional influences and cultural practices.
Vocal Music of Mindanao
The Islamic community in the Philippines consists of
ethnolinguistic groups:
- the Maguindanao of Cotabato
- the Maranao of Lanao and Cotabato
- the Samai and Jama Mapun of the Suku Islands of Sibutu
and
Cagayan De Sulu
- the Tausug of the Sulu Islands of Jolo, Siasi, and Tawi-Tawi
- the Yakan of Basilan and Zamboanga

that
make up the larger Islamic society in Mindanao and Sulu

one single tradition. Similarities do exist in some vocal styles
within
the large society but theoretical concepts, functions,
aesthetics, and
repertoires differ from culture to culture, and even village to
village
