'Sa Kabukiran' - Filipino Folk Song

Показать описание
"Sa Kabukiran" is a balitaw folk song composed by Manuel Velez during the 1920s. The song has lyrics in Cebuano, Ilonggo, Tagalog, and Spanish. The Tagalog lyrics were by Juan Yee Benasa. The most famous rendition so far was the 1954 recording of singer Sylvia la Torre, popularly known as the "Queen of the Kundiman".
Manuel Velez, a prolific prewar composer of popular and movie music, paints a delightful musical picture of life on the farm. The song is written in the key of D and classified as a balitaw in tempo allegretto with a 3/4 beat that undergirds a gay, nimble, and carefree melodic setting for the text. Intended for a coloratura soprano, a fermata before the final measure signals the start of a brilliant cadenza displaying the performer’s vocal artistry.
Sylvia Reyes La Torre-de Tagle (June 4, 1933 – December 1, 2022), known as "The Queen of Kundiman" and "The First Lady of Philippine Television", was a Filipino singer, actress, and radio star.
A coloratura soprano, she graduated from the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music with a degree in Music major in Voice and minor in Piano. She began singing in 1938 at the age of five, when she entered a singing competition in Manila. She started performing in theater during World War II. In 1948, she joined the Manila Grand Opera House. Her first song release was "Si Petite Mon Amour" under the Bataan Records label in 1950. She later moved to Villar Records. She was known as "The Queen of Kundiman" in the 1950s and 1960s.
