Here are some examples:
* "Balitaw": This is a popular poetic form in the Visayas that can be sung during work, often with a call-and-response format. The lyrics often express the hardships of work, the beauty of nature, or social commentary.
* "Kumintang": A type of war song, this can also be sung as a work song. It typically features a fast tempo and rhythmic chants.
* "Ambahan": This is a traditional poetic form of the Hanunuo Mangyan people in Mindoro, but it has influenced Visayan poetry and song. While not strictly a work song, it is often sung during communal tasks and celebrations.
* "Pasyon": This is a devotional song that tells the story of the Passion of Christ. While not specifically a work song, it was often sung by farmers during their work, especially during the Lenten season.
It's important to note that these are just some examples, and there are many other songs and musical traditions that have been used in the Visayas for work. The specific songs and styles used varied depending on the region, the task, and the community.
To further explore Visayan work songs, you can look for:
* Folkloric research: Look for academic studies or collections of Visayan folk songs.
* Local archives: Many universities and cultural institutions in the Visayas may have collections of recordings or transcriptions of traditional music.
* Interviews with older generations: Many older people in the Visayas may still remember and be able to sing traditional work songs.
It's important to respect the cultural significance of these songs and use them responsibly.
