Details:
The songs that the people of the Philippines love to sing are the songs that pulsate with the heartbeat of the brown, fertile earth---- simple yet heartwarming songs that strongly express the sun-blest patience and courage of the people as they labor in the verdant plains and hillsâ¦humming or singing to the tempo of flirting winds and swishing scythes and sicklesâ¦from early morn till the set of sun. These are the songs of people who made the history while harvesting ripe, yellow corn and palay or while settling the land, breaking the warm, unresisting clod with their heavy plows, from the north to the south and east to west, from the swift, flowing rivers and lakes of the south to the limitless plains and rolling mountainsides of the north.

These songs by Sylvia La Torre under the direction of Leopoldo Silos will linger long in the memory of the people because they are as much a part of the countryâs heritage as the proud history and the beautiful,abundant isles of the Philippines.
