Indigenous oral poetry of Batanes. For generations, the Ivatan people of the northern Philippines have been singing Laji, a unique and ancient verbal art that combines melody with poetic language. It is traditionally recited in social settings, such as pre-wedding conferences, wakes and courtship.

But today, the tradition — and the spirit and linguistic diversity it embodies — is in danger of vanishing. This project is an effort to document and preserve Laji through field recordings, scholarship and eduational materials. Its purpose is to use multimedia tools to make Laji available to the Ivatans in Batanes and in the broader global community.
