Ibanag songs from Tuguegarao, Abulug, Dana-Ili, and Pamplona, known as canta or cansion, include versu, pagirau, kinantaran, harana, anthem, aguinaldo, salubong, and medley, influenced by Tagalog, Spanish, and English.

Versu, derived from church psalm verses, is an example of the Ibanag version of "Our Father," while pagirau or dance songs (also called sarswela) are accompanied by actions. Here is an example of a pagirau about the "delicious fish";

The kinantaran is a form of singing that involves a dialogue enactment. 

In Sanchez Mira, Cagayan, the kinantaran, a song debate, features a boy named Pepe and a girl named Neneng dancing and singing verses. Pepe often expresses his love to Neneng, while Neneng may respond with reluctance. Despite its popularity, young people often shy away from the kinantaran, but attempts to revive it have seen both boys and girls perform it at social gatherings.

An example is this one entitled "Lizard":

Ibanag dances are significant in social gatherings, with the maskota being a popular wedding dance in Cagayan and Isabela. Named after the full, tailless skirt worn by women at weddings, the dance follows a specific sequence. The bride and groom perform the dance first, followed by other pairs. During the dance, relatives and friends place money and gifts on two plates or handkerchiefs placed on the floor. The groom then takes the plates and hands them to the bride. A singer sings original verses to describe the couple during the dance:

The pinatalatto cu ta futu cao is an Ibanag song and dance, originating from Iguig and other towns of Cagayan, describing a girl's refusal to accept a suitor who left her and now wants to return. The performance is accompanied by singing from the audience.

The parosa is a song and dance performance of Santo Domingo's life, performed by a chorus of around 20 girls, sometimes with male singers in duets. It is performed in August on the eve of the "double eight" feast of Santo Domingo. The Ibanag also have their own version of the popular jota called la jota Cagayana, where women wear maskota skirts, camisas, and stiff pañuelos, or typical Ilocano costumes.

The infante is an Ibanag version of the pastores, featuring a choir of 15-20 males and females dressed in Maria Clara and barong tagalog costumes. They sing Christmas carols in Ibanag, accompanied by two harpists and guitarists. The infantes, aged 9-12, are dressed in red dresses and decorated hats. Since 15 years ago, the performance has included a 3-meter-tall giant manipulated by men inside. The giant chases the infantes, and the audience gives it money to stop. Previously, there were two giants, but now only one is used. The person inside the giant plays a flute, accompanied by a bamboo orchestra and the tinubong, a bamboo instrument played by a man with a cape and sash.

The town fiesta of Cabagan features the sambali, a pre-Hispanic war dance transformed into a mock war dance between Christians and non-Christians. The Ibanag represent Christians, while the Kalinga represent non-Christians. The performers wear white haag, the color of baptism, and red baag, associated with insurrections. They wear spears, shields, and feather-decorated headdresses to symbolize bravery, similar to the Kalinga lawi. 

The sambali begins with an Acta warning of an imminent attack, which is ignored by the warring camps. Despite the warning, they march to battle, meeting face-to-face. The ritual culminates in the defeat of the non-Christians at the hands of the Christians, similar to the battles between Christians and Moros in the komedya and the moros y cristianos.
