Ifugao Men Performing the Tagtag Planting Ritual

Album Info:
When rice plant is about knee-high tall, male members of the Ifugao tribe perform the Tagtag ritual. To ensure good harvest, they beat wooden planks and chant in unison while in the rice fields to ward off pests and capture evil vibrations by the red leaf adornments they wear in their bodies. Leaves are thrown into the river along with evil vibes caught by it during the ritual.

Marvelous traditions of our planet which are slowly disappearing to be replaced by a very sad uniformisation!
