si filemon, si filimon
My Orchestral band for which I play the piano, the Asian Troubadours have recently released its Timeless Visayan and Russian Classics CD. The CD contains 7 enduring Cebuano/Visayan folk Classics, and details of its release can be found in their site.
In addition to promoting Cebuano folk songs in music, we will be releasing a series of MTV featuring their music and performances.
Si Filemon, si Filimon is the first of the series. It is a lighthearted song about a fisherman’s travels to catch the bounty of the sea and returned emptyhanded. It is a folk song popularized in the 60s and 70s by Yoyoy villame, and is mostly sang in parties and celebrations, as well as festivities. comments are welcome!
