Album Notes

The initial Philippine Folk Dance album that introduce the exciting sound of the fabulous strings of the Rondalla to the world’s finest in popular music was an immediate success with platter enthusiasts, not only in this country but elsewhere, that Juan Silos Jr.,peerless “maestro” of the Rondalla, was commissioned by Villar Records Int’l to work on a second hit album containing this brand of music. A third followed , and then a fourth. And now comes- the fifth.. another big one.. to meet the enormous demand for Philippine Folk Dances.

The Rondalla – which is composed of top-caliber musicians with long experience and know-how in Philippine show business- is adroitly directed by our rondalla master who tackles each folk dance with his usually convincing and vibrant style…compelling the native multi-strings to perform harmoniously as one through the many colorful yet difficult passages.
