Uwang Ahadas[1] (February 15, 1945 – October 29, 2022) was a Filipino folk musician of the Yakan people who was a recipient of the National Living Treasures Award.

People in his community believed that this was due to retribution of nature spirits which lived in Bohe Libaken, a creek where Ahadas frequently bathed.

Ahadas along with his sibling musicians were taught how to play Yakan traditional instruments as children.

[2] By age 20, Ahadas had already mastered the kwintangan which is considered as the most important Yakan musical instrument despite the instrument being traditionally reserved for women.

Ahadas went on to promote these traditions outside his native town of Lamitan, Basilan.
