Album Info:

(DSC01860) "Gandang" - double-headed barrel drum (Maranao) ... Who are the Maranaos? The people (mostly Muslims), who live in the provinces of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur on the island of Mindanao are usually referred to us "Maranaws" or "Maranaos". The term means "people of the lake area," and they are given this name because their greatest concentration is around Lake Lanao. Some Maranaws are also found in the provinces of Misamis Oriental and on the mountain slopes of northwestern Cotabato Province. These people have also been called "Moros," a term applied to Muslims in the southern Philippines in general. The language of these people is called "Maranaw" or "Maranao." The difference is only a matter of spelling. The term "Iranon," if used, refers to a speech variant of Maranaw. (Taken from http://litera1no4.tripod.com/maranaw_fra me.html)
