Lyrics
Rikiting-kiting rikiting
Rikiting kiting rikiting
Halina’t awitin natin
Ang kantang rikiting

Rikiting kiting rikiting
Halina’t awitin natin
Ang rikiting.
“Rikiting-kiting” is a nonsense folk song from the Tagalog region. The “Rikiting- kiting” is sung to give fun and humor. Like folk tales that often don’t have authors as these stories are told by the elders, folk songs have no known specific composers. We could not also tell when it was composed because this song has already passed on through words of mouth by the elders.

Science in a creative industry.
The DOST-FPRDI has a Bamboo Musical Instruments Innovation R&D program aimed at improving the quality of locally-made bamboo musical instruments (BMIs) through science and innovative technologies. The program seeks to standardize the production of selected BMIs, develop prototype designs, analyze raw material sources and existing markets, and build a BMI processing facility. In addition, the program aims to document the ethnocultural story behind several BMIs and identify the bamboo species used in BMI production to promote public awareness and appreciation of the cultural importance of these musical instruments. The program is a collaboration with the University of the Philippines and Philippine Normal University for teaching modules and analyzing sound quality and standardization of BMI design. The DOST Grants-in-Aid program provides funding.
