Gangsa is a single handheld smooth-surfaced gong with a narrow rim. A set of
gangsa, which is played one gong per musician,
consists of gangsa tuned to different notes, depending
on regional or local cultural preferences. The number
of gangsa in a set varies with availability, and depends
on the tradition of a particular ethnic group of the
Luzon Cordillera: Kalinga, Ifugao, Bontoc, etc.Among
the Kalinga people in the Cordillera region of Luzon
Island, the gangsa is played in two ways. One way is called "toppaya" and the other is called
"pattung." In "toppaya" style, the musicians play the surface of the gangsa with their hand
while in a sitting position, with a single gangsa resting on the lap of each musician. In the
"pattung" style, a gangsa is suspended from the musician's left hand and played with a padded
stick held in the musician's right hand. In the "pattung" style of playing, the players are
standing, or they keep in step with the dancers while bending forward slightly.
It is a traditional kind of Filipino folk music, which focuses on percussion: flat gongs are played
rhythmically with sticks by eight gong players.
