Kundiman Mabuhay Singers

"Jocelyn ng Baliwag, Magandang Diwata", a kundiman circa 1800.

From 1896 to 1898 the most famous Kundiman, which fired the patriotic sentiments of the Tagalog revolutionaries in the struggle for liberation from Spanish colonial rule, was Jocelyn ng Baliuag. Officially known as Musica del Legitimo Kundiman Procedente del Campo Insurecto (Music of the Legitimate Kundiman that Proceeds from the Insurgents), Jocelynang Baliwag was the favorite Kundiman among the revolutionaries of Bulacan during the Philippine Revolution of 1896 - earning it the title "Kundiman of the Revolution."

In the guise of a love and courtship song, it features lyrics dedicated to a young and beautiful Filipina idolized in the Bulacan town of Baliuag named Josefa 'Pepita' Tiongson y Lara who symbolizes the image of the beloved Motherland, the Inang Bayan ng Katagalugan or Filipinas. JOCELYNANG BALIWAG P- Pinopoong sinta, niring calolowa Nacacawangis mo'y mabangong sampaga Dalisay sa linis, dakila sa ganda Matimyas na bucal ng madlang ligaya. E- Edeng maligayang kinaloclocan Ng galak at tuwang catamis-tamisan Hada cang maningning na ang matunghaya'y Masamyong bulaclac agad sumisical. P- Pinananaligan niring aking dibdib Na sa paglalayag sa dagat ng sakit 'Di mo babayaang malunod sa hapis Sa pagcabagabag co'y icaw ang sasagip. I- Icaw na nga ang lunas sa aking dalita Tanging magliligtas sa niluha-luha Bunying binibining sinucuang cusa Niring catawohang nangayupapa. T- Tanggapin ang aking wagas na pag-ibig Marubdob na ningas na taglay sa dibdib Sa buhay na ito'y walang nilalangit Cung hindi ikaw lamang, ilaw niring isip. A- At sa cawacasa'y ang kapamanhikan Tumbasan mo yaring pagsintang dalisay Alalahanin mong cung 'di cahabagan Iyong lalasunin ang aba cong buhay.
The kundiman is a love song and/or a patriotic song that generally expresses lamentation, a longing, a plea, or sorrow. Influenced by the culture of the times and the temper of the Filipino, the kundiman's purpose was never trivial and ordinary. During the Spanish colonial regime, the kundiman, "Jocelyn ng Baliwag" was disguised as an expression of love for a lady from Bulacan; it was actually an expression of love for the motherland and the hope of setting her free from the Spanish conquistadores.

The kundiman's beat is triple time, in minor key, and its lyrics are poetic, swaying smoothly with either a silent note or a mezzo forte. It is usually sung by a highly trained and skilled vocalist, accompanied by an equally trained and skilled string orchestra, or a pianist, a violinist, and/or a guitarist. No; ordinary vocalists and musicians cannot perform the kundiman. It requires more than just a singing voice and the ability to pluck some strings. If other nations have their opera, the Philippines has its kundiman, uniquely its own.

What a great song! I'm a music teacher from the United States who sings international songs with my students. Would anyone be able to help with a translation and transliteration of the song? Thank you very much.

@MsUniverse4ever - better service po para sa lahat at mula sa lahat - no more kurakot, alisin ang kasungitan ng mga empleyado at employers, super bagal ng processing ng mga papeles; efficiency ang mas nararapat.

We need to boost our morale - as individuals and as a nation. Tingalain natin ang magaganda sa ating sariling kultura at itaguyod efficient organization at better service

[MsUniverse4ever]

@MsUniverse4ever

Samahan na rin ng paglilinis - physical at metaphorical sense - tulad ng proper waste management at saka serbisyong matino - please no more kurakot

[MsUniverse4ever]

Mga Kabayan, napakaganda ng ating bansa. Kailangan natin syang itaguyod. Tayong mamamayan ang magtulong-tulong para sa kanyang pagsulong. Walang ibang magmamahal at magtataguyod sa ating inang bansa kundi tayong mga anak nya at magkakapatid na Pilipino. Tayo ang mag-aangat sa sarili natin.

Magsimula po tayo sa pagkilala ng mabubuti sa ating bansa tulad ng - teritoryo natin - tropical garden, magagandang awit, sayaw, warm hospitality at iba pa.
