eBook + Audio | Tikong-Tiko (Very Crooked)

Description

Tikong-Tiko (Very Crooked) is a charming Bikolano folk song that Dr. Factora collected in Iriga City, Camarines Sur, Philippines. Journey with a wandering traveler along a crooked path, where everything—from coins to bamboo to fish—turns hilariously crooked. In the end, all the twists lead to a joyful finish with a perfectly cooked fish—capturing the Filipino spirit of humor, resilience, and wisdom.

This edition presents the original Bikolano lyrics, a Filipino singable version, and an English translation for accessibility and cultural appreciation. The book includes five downloadable audio tracks: vocal versions in Bikolano and Filipino (each with and without accompaniment), plus an instrumental track ideal for sing-alongs, rehearsals, or performances.

Inside, you’ll also find musical notation, chords, and interdisciplinary activities designed for young readers, families, teachers, and classrooms—encouraging creative learning across subject areas.

Celebrate the wit, warmth, and joyful creativity of Filipino traditions, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Bikolanos!
