Florante Aguilar
Registrace 31. 10. 2006
Florante Aguilar is one of the most active figures in Philippine traditional music today. His arrangements and compositions reveal a deep understanding of the form, successfully crafting the right balance between respect and redefinition of a tradition.
His constant search for a tradition-based contemporary Filipino sound led him to champion harana music - songs used in the now-vanished Filipino courtship ritual of serenading. Aguilar's compositions, which use strong Philippine motifs in a modern context, include works for guitar, octavina, violincello, percussion, as well as song cycles and a zarzuela.

Part 2 - Ilocano Harana (Ta Nagsaway A Pintas Mo)
Felipe Alonzo (1934-2013) recorded a remarkable all-Ilocano harana album, Kenka Biagko, for Villar Records in 1965. Accompanied by Leopoldo Silos and his rondalla, this album is a treasure trove of poignant and beautifully sung melodies that many Filipinos outside the Ilocos region have yet to discover. Sadly, Kenka Biagko is no longer in circulation. I was fortunate enough to listen to it, thanks to an Instagram follower who found a second-hand printed album online.
This footage was taken in 2008, during my first encounter with Mang Felipe on the streets of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. While staying at a local hotel, I asked a worker named Aling Aning if she knew of any singers who still practiced old harana songs. “I know someone! He drives a tricycle in the streets of Vigan,” she replied.
Initially, I thought it can’t be that easy. Encouraged by producer Fides Enriquez (now my wife) to pursue the lead, I went to the street corner (sa kanto) with our film crew, and waited for this supposedly legendary singer to roll in on his tricycle. The rest is history (watch the documentary via the link below).
Featuring the charming old town of Vigan, Ilocos Sur.

Part 1 - Sarswela (Bayan Ko in Ilocano) by Felipe Alonzo
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed měsícem
Many of us recognize "Bayan Ko" as a powerful patriotic anthem, but its origins trace back to a 1902 sarswela, "Walang Sugat" (Woundless) by Severino Reyes whose pen name was Lola Basyang. Kundiman in form and originally written in Spanish, it was translated into the Tagalog version we know today by Jose Corazon de Jesus, also known as Huseng Batute, in 1929. Stay tuned after the song for my in...

A little tribute to the Boholano side of my roots. Not only is the island province beautiful (a designated UNESCO Global Geopark) but its respect for the arts and traditional music speaks to me. Hope to be back soon ! Ang Bol-anon is a popular tune written by Regino Dano that I've arranged for the classical guitar. Enjoy!

Introducing the Gumamela project! My new project celebrating musical connections between the Philippines and Mexico. Yes, we definitely have a lot in common musically.

Traditional dances and religious music also reflect shared cultural va...

What if we wrote a harana song today? What would it sound like? What if we use contemporary harmonies and chord progressions they didn’t use back in the days? And why not play around the traditional habanera rhythm? Will it still be a harana song? And what if it were sung by women instead of men? Naghihintay is a song I wrote with these questions in mind.

Gumawa sana ng katipunan ng mga kundiman,harana, at mga awiting bayan

Arguably the best version/interpretation of Bayan Ko. ❤❤❤ May kurot sa puso.

Mahusay ngang umawit si Mary Cornelio, at ang galing din ni Forante Aguilar sa pag gitara!

His singing nearly brought me to tears, so melodious and heartfelt! Many thanks to Florante for resurrecting these harana songs! Brought back childhood memories. I am a grandma, born and bred in. Ilocandia but have lived in Australia for nearly half a century! Kudos to you, Florante (if I may be so familiar❤)
Thank you for watching ❤️♥️❤️

Dami kong natutunan ngayon ah. Salamat maestro.
Very very beautifully rendered.
Yung kapitbahay namin may edad na din sya .. isa sa binibiliban ko astig ng gitara nya .. sabi nya "nag haharana sila dati kapanahonan pa nila" Nadidinig ko pag bandang gabi habang sya'y nag gigitara sarap sa tenga ♥️ sana ma puntahan din sya ♥️
so beautiful ❤
thank you ... ang ganda ng mga awitin Harana ...🌹🌸🌺🌷
Ako po'y bente anyos ngunit mahilig akong makinig sa mga ganitong uri ng musika 'di tulad ng mga ka-edad ko kaya tawag nila sa akin ay isang lumang tao. Ngunit, ako'y hindi nahihiya sapagkat ipinagmamalaki ko ang ating kultura at kasaysayan. Ang nakakalungkot pakinggan, wala nang masyadong kabataan tulad ko na tumatangkilik o nagbibigay halaga sa ating kultura at kasaysayan at dahan-dahan na itong nawawala. Mabuhay po kayo, Ginoong Aguilar! Pagpalain nawa kayo ng Maykapal.
