[freedomfyter]

[domke803]

@freedomfyter A Filipino rondalla is usually comprised of 24 members. The traditional instruments include the bandurria, laud, octavina, guitar, and double bass ((bajo de uñas).

[freedomfyter]

@domke803 thanks a mill!

[athenice]

[RocknRollOtaku]

Now that is why I like Filipino culture. A mixture of cultures from East and West.

[derioboy]

I was just there and got my feet wet eating lunch. haha. Great cultural show and environment. Long kalibaw ride, but have musicians on ride as well=)

[easternshorefilamsoc]

I have a better selection of videos that I took at Villa Escuedero. I guess I'll have to upload them.

[joby4ever]

"Ang Pipit" is the title of the song.... well orchestrated indeed!

[bluemarlinfish]

[SoLoveAsianGirls]

[h888lucky]

the music sounds so romantic it doesnt sound folk. it is like a romantic music background.

:) i luv it!

[macabrecountertenor]

i miss rondalla back in high school...

[DarleneJoanne]

NICE... I remember eating here by the waterfall where the eating area is literally in a stream with your feet getting wet but it was pretty interesting

[marlonisback]

From the behavoirs, maybe they intermarried with

Ungoy, diba ?

[grandeisland]

sounds great!.. i used to play banduria a long time ago. I ordered the instrument to refresh myself but i can't remember the keys. I can only remember the middle C. if u don't mind can u email me the keys for lower and high C? and also i don't know how to tune the instrument. i took to the music store but no one knows the chord. can u also tell me the cord and what is this similar to instrument in usa. would u mind to share some of your notes

[Kartilya14]

oh boy...i was too young to remember the last time we went there. such a great place, full of history and culute.

[Kartilya14]

*culture, sorry

[ayalapma]

Grabe naman itong mga 'to. Makining na lang kayo at hirangin natin ang Pilipinas. Ang nakaraan ay nakaraan. Mamuhay tayo sa ngayon at sa kinabukasan. Saludo sa kapwa Pilipino!

[joshtu]

opss i had expected to hear an asian sound..

[spioncina]

me too!

:(

[mestisapnoi]

ow. we are asian, its just our country was raped by many other countries (including spain, as you hear the influence here), hence the obvious influences.

[rondallaboy]

this one's nice. Thanks fro uploading. Do you have more videos of Villa Escudero Rondalla? please upload more.

[wmuh2000]

This is an excellent music. What I don't like from lots of people here is attack the Spaniards.They have been part of our history and you can not deny that. Most of our songs are inspired. Even our language "Filipino" got more than 5000 words in Spanish. Even the USA have been influenced by both Spain and UK.Pls get real and move on....Nearly all countries have been influenced by different cultures and nationalities. Get it? Please move on w/your lives and just enjoy this great Filipino music.

[promoONE]

at least when the Muslim came to Philippines they didn't invade us. they taught us their culture UNLIKE SPANISH THAT FORCED THEIR CULTURE OVER OURS AND WIPED OUT OUR IDENTITY.

for masayaman

[deviousMonk]

Why are you blaming the Spanish? I dont see anyone here in shackles. getting shot or tortured. Just listen to the fucking music. Influence happens to every country every individual every culture, nothing stays the same, everything is constant. You think you'd be sitting in the comfort of your home, probably sipping on starbuck white chocolate mocha while surfing the internet. Atleast your not in the jungle getting hunted by the headhunters.

[wmuh2000]

You are pathetic. You have so much hatred in your life. It is now the 21st century...Just relax and enjoy this Filipino music. GET REAL AND MOVE ON MATE!!!

[promoONE]

hatred? please! at least it isn't self hatred.

[MarkSamurai5]

well if there was no Spanish colonization, Philippines would not be called Philippines and we won't be called Filipinos.

[promoONE]

and we would know who we REALLY are.

and wouldn't be laughed at by other nations.

and wouldn't an identity crisis.

and we would be better off.

it simply really, its time that that Filipinos stop listen to Foreigner words and start listening one another.

these are merely influences it will never make you anything other you are, FILIPINO.

[masayaman]

this is great

[Kartilya14]

VIVA FILIPINAS!!!

[promoONE]

i'm long tired of the bullshit spanish crap. it just looks stupid to others. it really not the Filipino identity. SINGKIL!

[jesuspieces]

I totally agree with you.

This isn't true Filipino folk music

[deviousMonk]

Just think about the word Filipino--It is a term derived from Spain. Now the music you hear in this video is Spanish influence, therefore this is a true Filipino folk music.

Now dissect the origin of Singkil Dance -- It is not Filipino in term of culture but Lanao, Mindanao culture.

My point is Philippines is truly a diverse country with many different kinds of culture. The only reason we are generally called Filipinos is because those who fought for it had kept the name.

[promoONE]

your fucking moron. you know spanish = white, right. are you saying your brown ass is white. and singkil is the original bambu dance.

you know that what you see or promote is what was slaves did to past time or entertain the white masters. right.

[deviousMonk]

Do you see a fucking white guy in this video? you prick! This dance is purely Filipino not Spanish, go read real Philippine History before you rant your random non-sense in here. You're a disgrace to humanity perhaps to Filipinos. And how the fuck did you know my ass is brown? You ignorant fuck!

[promoONE]

i did and found out that the spanish got asses and other native Filipinos that helped against Moros.

Philippines History DOES NOT START AT spanish colonial era but it is just another chapter. even the greeks knew that about Philippines long before the Spanish.

b/c 95% of Filipinos are Malay stock, your ass is brown my ass is brown.

do even know what type of Spanish came to Philippines to settle?

[elihalz]

You found out that Spanish got asses? Wow you're very smart answer...Where does Philippine History start? Please tell me monkey boy...Please tell me who were the first Filipinos? I can't wait for you to answer my question with your pathetic answers. Go ahead use your wikipedia...hurry.

[elihalz]

[xygoldenret]

The first Filipinos were of South East Asian descent, but we were from Aetas.

[masayaman]

this is part of filipino culture. just because you believe it looks stupid to others, you claim it is not filipino? if someone says tagalog sounds stupid, would you claim it is not filipino and just "bullshit spanish crap" since it has spanish influences?

this song is filipino. it was composed by a filipino and is being played by filipinos in a uniquely filipino style. maybe i'll call the singkil "bullshit muslim crap"?

respect your culture-- all aspects of it. you can't pick and choose.

[promoONE]

yeah your right its was composed by a filipino but NOT a Filipino.

its annoying and its really nothing special about it.

please take your ignorant catholic nut freak thoughts somewhere else.

idiots like you are the ones that hold down Philippines from growing and maturing with idoitic self hatred.

[masayaman]

"catholic nut freak thoughts"? wow, you're the one with the hate in your mind. first you despise part of your own culture then you immediately thing i'm a "nut freak catholic" i was only trying to point out that singkil is not any more "native filipino" than your "spanish crap"-- although i guess it'd more accurate to say singkil is indian?

like i said before, you can't pick and choose things to call filipino or not based on how much you like it, or what it's influenced by-it's still filipino

[promoONE]

why is it when its all over that a Filipino a is willing and able to defend their ex masters reputations. this nothing more then colonial mentality that Filipino have and that holds them back.

no i don't pick and choose what i like based on how i like it. i base it on my history lessons on Philippines culture.

[promoONE]

it pretty pathetic how the world looks at Philippines and laugh now when WE could be

better. how we subject ourselves to Spanish culture when the Spanish has long been long.

there is nothing special about Spanish. they were colonial of the Arab for 800 year. they are weaker then us. there language the Spanish language is basically Arab.

[masayaman]

and, going by the way you think, i suppose playing bahay kubo or lupang hinirang on a piano automatically makes the song italian since that instrument is a product of italy. am i correct?

[ichijeremy]

pu tong e na mo

[fenipeg]

mamang may anghit, anghit mo ay napakalupet.

pag ikaw ay lumalapit.. ang ILONG ko ay nabibiyak!.

[galinaciega]

May pumukol sa Pipit sa sanga ng ng isang kahoy

At nagahip ng bato ang pakpak ng munting ibon

Dahil sa sakit, di nakaya pang lumipad

At ang nangyari ay nahulog ngunit parang taong bumigtas

Mamang kay lupit, ang puso mo'y di na nahabag

Pag pumanaw ang buhay ko, may isang pipit na iiyak

May isang pipit na iiyak, may isang pipit na iiyak

[insanerhapsodist]

ahh ang pipit! magandang kanta!

[keinsz]

May pumukol sa pipit sa sanga ng isang kahoy

At nahagip ng bato ang pakpak ng munting ibon

Dahil sa sakit di na nakaya pang lumipad

At ang nangyari ay nahulog....I forgot
