Album Notes

By insistent popular demand and because Rondalla music is better than ever, Villar Music International presents with pride and pleasure the ninth in a series of Philippine
Folk dances. Your well-earned listening and dancing enjoyment will be enriched this season by a colorful and exciting array of twelve folk dances…sung and performed over the years…and made more colorful and entertaining now by the touch of Conductor Juan Silos, Jr. who arranged the entire folk dance presentation featuring the fabulous all-string ensemble – the Rondalla.

Like the earlier releases of the Philippine Folk Dance series which is already hailed as one of the great collections of recorded Filipiniana, this album heralds the arrival of a dozen beloved folk dances hitherto played by the Rondalla.

For those who tremendously enjoy the lilting beauty and grace of Philippine Folk Dances and the great sound of the Rondalla – here’s the richness, variety,color, excitement, and balance of a perfect “folk dance concert”.
