A Sweet Harmony from the Past

I think everyone, mostly the young people, were very attracted to learn different kinds of modern musical instruments. It is very cool and very pleasing if someone can play a musical instrument like guitar, drums and piano. Due to the fast track of change, people already forgotten some of the native instruments that could really produce a a great harmony. Some don't even know about mandolin, gong, flute, xylophones and etc. These are what we called traditional, but when it plays, truly magical.  Music is not just limited to 3 to 4 musical instruments. There are thousands or millions of instruments that remains unnoticed.I think it's a start to revive the heart of the people to love other traditional musical instrument. Try to check out some of it online and here's the link to purchase it with   Free Shipping . Our celebration in "National Language" really open up my mind to embrace the beauty of folk music, traditional music as well as the musical instrument. Well

Here we  go. Everyone are busy preparing for the "Buwan ng Wika" celebration. This is an annual event in the Philippines, where all schools all over the Philippines celebrate the whole month of August. This is an annual event where students as well as the teachers were dressed in national costumes, tribal and other folk clothes. There is a contest in folk dances, folk song, cooking contest (native delicacies), "larong lahi" (Filipino native games), "Lakambini at Lakandula" (Filipino style beauty contest for men and women and many more. This kind of event preserves the Filipino culture, heritage, values, customs and tradition. For me this is a very important event because this will help open up to the minds of the young children to embrace the Filipino values and develop the love for their country. Enjoy. Have a happy weekend. God bless.
