Introducing THE HARANA KINGS (CD) Aguilar, Alonzo, Aniel and Bergunio
$19.95
Introducing the Harana Kings is the result of Florante Aguilar’s search for haranistas as chronicled in the documentary film HARANA. They represent the truest practitioners of the vanished custom of Filipino serenading when men sang underneath the window at night to introduce themselves to a maiden. About fifty years ago, Felipe Alonzo, Celestino Aniel and Romeo Bergunio were active participants of this once-popular courtship ritual and are among its last surviving practitioners.

This is wonderful selection of the HARANA singers .. beautiful ensemble. Nicely produced.. love listening to it often. Florante has such an exquisite musical intuition that’s very enthralling , relaxing to listen to.

I wat ched your documentary ans i was mersmerized by it, growing up i myself watch the latter part of the Harana generation growing up in the province of Bulacan and i would say its the most effetive way of courting the woman you love, and the music you all sang on the documentary were all familiar to me and almost know most of them. The three Haraneros and just wonderful singers and i have to watched them over and over, i love it tottally five star for me , thank you !
