Tired of hearing loud music
now a days???
why don't you try to listen to the music that
brings back the old memories...
here is one of the music that my Lola loves to sing.
Title: DAHIL SA IYO (Because of You). 1938.
Music : Mike
Velarde Jr;
Lyrics : Dominador Santiago.
Sung by: Diomedes Maturan
About :
Velarde's composition
which is in slow duple time has been described as "being urbane. . .the
slick verses masking provincial nostalgia." It is typically the music of
the Big City of the 1930's with a sophistication and a lightness of sound that
is still filled with the romanticism of the rustic Filipino lover. From its
popularity with the Filipino movie crowd of the 1930s, it enjoyed a revival in
the 1960's when it evolved into a classic art song with the interpretation of
Aurelio Estanislao, followed by virtually all student singers of that time.
Written by Velarde for the movie Bituing Marikit which starred Rogelio de la
Rosa in 1937, "Dahil Sa Iyo" has been translated into English,
Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and the local dialects.
