Maglalatik
The ''Maglalatik'' (also known as ''Manlalatik'' or ''Magbabao'') is a folk dance from the Philippines performed by male dancers. Coconut shell halves are secured onto the dancers' hands and on vests upon which are hung four or six more coconut shell halves. The dancers perform the dance by hitting one coconut shell with the other; sometimes the ones on the hands, the ones on the body, or the shells worn by another performer, all in time to a fast drumbeat. Maglalatik can be seen as a mock battle between the dancing boys. The dance is intended to impress the viewer with the great skill of the dancer. In some "Filipino Martial Arts" (FMA) circles, it is noted that the ''Maglalatik'' "consists of a trapping and boxing method hidden in a dance." The name of the dance means "latik-maker", from latik, a coconut product that is used in Filipino cooking. The dance is also a war dance depicting a fight between Moros and Christians over the latik.

Bandurria
The bandurria is a plucked chordophone from Spain, similar to the mandolin and bandola, primarily used in Spanish folk music, but also found in former Spanish colonies. Instrument development Prior to the 18th century, the bandurria had a round back, similar or related to the mandore. It had become a flat-backed instrument by the 18th century, with five double courses of strings, tuned in fourths. The original bandurrias of the Medieval period had three strings. During the Renaissance they gained a fourth string. During the Baroque period the bandurria had 10 strings (5 pairs). The modern bandurria has 12 strings (6 pairs). The strings are tuned in unison pairs, going up in fourths from the low G#. The lowest four strings are a major-third above those of a standard guitar and the highest two strings are a fourth above a standard guitar, i.e. G, c, f, b, e and a.
