For the first time, during the Classical period most of the important stylistic advances that occurred can be observed most clearly in the instrumental forms: the symphony, concerto, sonata, and in instrumental chamber music (e.g., the Beethoven string quartets).
The term budots is the slang for âtambayâ which means people with no jobs or permanent jobs. They have more free time in their hands so to speak. The dance was branded âBudotsâ because the. folks who started it are âtambaysâ in a small Barangay in Davao City. Barangay Camus in Davao is a small quiet town until the techno music plays that signals the whole town folks to get out of their houses to dance âBudotsâ.
The dance consists of a four-beat rhythm laid on top of the music of the bandurria, a 14-string instrument that evolved from the 12-string Spanish bandurria. Early versions of the dance were simple and involved only one or two people. Tinikling originated during the 1500s when the Spaniards conquered the Philippines. It was started by farmers on the Visayan Islands of Leyte. The dance has also been said to have derived from a punishment that the Spaniards practiced.
