This is the follow-up album to “Halina’t Umawit”, the stunning cd on Villar Music Int’l label that launched the country’s topnotch sing-along group who call themselves – THE MABUHAY SINGERS. The singing ensemble treats the listener to a glorious bouquet of sweet sounding classic Philippine songs, impeccably sung in a refreshing cloudburst of harmony and style as in their previous successes on cd, under the careful and knowledgeable baton of Leopoldo Silos.
The selections here indicate real dedicated research and exceptional musicality on the part of the Mabuhay Singers. Represented are the songs that run the gamut from the lilting “Pandanggo ni Neneng,” ‘Batya’t Palupalo” and “Ang Pagtatanim” to the upbeat “Arimunding-Munding” and “Caprichosa” to the strait-laced “Dalagang Pilipina” and others.
For a Hap-Hap-Happy Day (Maligayang Araw) – listen to the breathy Mabuhay Singers in their inspiring and appealing folksinging of selected traditional favorites of the Philippines.
