Buti Buti
(Jolo, Sulu) The Badjao, known as sea gypsies, are born, raised, and die on boats called lipa or buti. The Badjao have a remarkable affinity with their "home boat" that a dance was created in its honor. Deviating from the traditional pangalay, the buti-buti is an occupational dance that mimics the daily activities of men rowing, diving, casting and pulling nets, harvesting and bringing home the catch while women use rattan baskets to gather shellfish. The accompanying song or Leleng, describes the buti-buti's gentle sway, similar to the graceful walk of the badjao lady.
