Malagueña | Philippine Folkdance

Malagueña is a lively festival dance that was brought by the Spaniards to the Philippines. Literally, malagueña means 'anything from Malaga' or 'a woman from Malaga', Malaga being a region in the Iberian peninsula which is a part Spain. Originally, the malagueña was a song and a music form that is distinctly identifiable to Malaga. Malagueña dances are probably late dance adaptations to popular malagueña-style musics. The malagueña as a dance form found good "dance floors" in the Philippines. Though executed differently than the original Spanish malagueña dance, the Filipino version is still as enticing and graceful as the Iberian original. Nevertheless, Filipino temperament are obvious in our versions.
