SouthCotabatoprovince is home to a fascinating culture that revolves around kulintang music, a specific type of gong music, found among both Muslim and non-Muslim groups of the Southern Philippines.
Tupi is the name of one of the main ethnic groups of Brazilian indigenous people, together with the related Guarani.
They first inhabited the Amazon rainforest, then spread southward and gradually occupied the Atlantic coast.
From the sixteenth century onward the Tupis, like other natives from the region, were assimilated, enslaved or simply exterminated by Portuguese and Spanish settlers, nearly leading to their complete annihilation as a culture.
