notes
From the sublime to the rhythmically-charged, love song to tribal dance, this collection showcases the variety of styles in the evolution of Philippine music along with its most trusted instrument.
The influence of Spain, the assimilation of American pop, the staying power of the rural folk songs, and the exoticism of indigenous rhythms, yield a picturesque canvas of a culture like no other.
The collection also displays the art of an instrument humble in origin yet taken to its highest form, without losing the charm and spirit its predecessors intended.

A must have to balance your life with.
author: jojoExcellent clean recording. Wonderful expressive music pieces that are so romantic, flawless and energetic as well. I would like more variety next time with a vocal duet or another instrument, or one with a small ensemble.

Excellent recording
author: Chris BeecroftCrisp and lively playing. Very fine guitar playing, well performed with a good understanding of the soul of the music. This CD will be an excellent addition to your collection if you are a fan of world guitar music, or even just a fan of guitar music in general.
Just love all the songs
author: Ofelia GonzalezBeing a Filipino but never listened nor enjoyed native Philippine songs, this cd changed that. The interpretation of several songs is just wonderful, I love this cd.
