The folk music of Mindanao includes the ancient Muslim folk songs. These songs are usually accompanied by drums, gongs, or other percussion instruments..

[Audio] Generally, music is evaluated based from the musical elements and styles. The following are some of the basic musical elements: Dynamics – musical aspects relating to the relative loudness (or quietness) of music (e.g. pianissimo, piano, mezzo-piano, mezzo-forte, forte and fortissimo) 2. Rhythm – the organization of music in time and is closely related to meter 3. Texture – the density ( thickness or thinness) of layers of sounds, melodies, and rhythms in a piece. Most common types of texture: monophony - a single layer of sound (e.g a solo voice); homophony - a melody with an accompaniment (e.g. a lead singer and a band; a singer and a guitar or piano accompaniment); polyphony - two or more independent voices (e.g a round or fugue). 4. Tempo – the speed of music..
