Published by Shawn Heller (A0.860304).The Jota became very popular in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. The La Jota Moncadeña is adapted by the Filipinos from the old Spanish dance. It's a combination of Spanish and Ilocano dance steps set to Spanish music and castanets. A more solemn version of this dance is sometimes used to accompany a funeral procession, but it is also performed at celebrations. In the Philippine version, the women wave their shawls around while the men keep up the rhythm on bamboo castanets.The jota encompasses a variety of Spanish-influenced dances and there are many forms of jota in the Philippines whose names are derived from their regions of origin. A common progression in the jota is a quick and lively verse, followed by a slow bridge, and ending with a verse in the same lively tempo as in the beginning.
