So glad I stumbled upon this video. I am a new fan of Maestros Florante Aguilar and Michael Dadap. This style of music reminds me of my father and uncles. They all love to sing kundiman and haranas. Some of them have passed on and I miss them terribly but this makes me feel their presence. My brother has studied classical guitar with Maestro Aguilar and has the same passion for Filipino music that my father has. We just hope we spread it to the younger generation. Mabuhay kayo!

Finally, I'm so glad to finally see you here in YT, Maestro Mike, after more than 50 years when you played for us in our school. My sister and I have never forgotten you and your music. Everytime we hear songs you played for us before, we simply blurt out: Mike Dadap!!! Keep well always. ❤

[@arielgalleros657]

When I see people who are in this level of playing, I think of the amount of time they're practicing to come up to such accuracy and perfection.

[@garyvargas3463]

Two great Filipino artists! Marami pong salamat sa inyong pagpupugay sa musikang Pilipino.

Just recently (3 or 4 days ago lang as of today, 1st Oct 2023) na come across dis guitar virtuoso from Cavite (Florante Aguilar) and Visayan Michael Dadap. And henceforth I will achieve much higher listening pleasure with these guitar virtuoso's, one of my favorite musical instruments!! I am no musician but love music so much coming from an musically artistic family. Most prominent is my kuya George Hernandez who has been staying in San Francisco for I think some 3 decades ago. Thanks so much Florante and Michael et al for sharing these treasures to us ordinary Filipinos.

[@amygimenez9078]

Napakaganda ng musika at napakagaling ng mga nag gitara. You two are great guitarists,!!!! Love to hear more of your music.👏👏👏👏

[@rafaelperez5762]

Salute to you both, Sirs Michael Dadap and Florante Aguilar ! Bravo!

[@TheHydred]

I didn't know what to expect. I loved being led through the personal stories and history lessons that intertwined the heartbeat of each beautiful piece. I will be returning to this video over and over again to get my inspirational practice fix. Thank YOU 😁

[@j2bienmd1]

Superb!!! Thank you, Maetros Dadap and Florante.

[@edenbatangan8373]

Thank you for sharing your love and passion for playing the guitar. I always love listening to Pilipinos playing the guitar of Folks song, old melodies, and music from the old times from the 1940’s to 1960’s. Those are very nostalgic. Thank you for playing them. They are so beautiful strumming and finger picking that I think only Pilipino guitarist does especially hand picking for a Harana and love song. I can feel you guys playing your heart out with love for the glory of the Lord. You will be blessed of your music as you delight Him. Amen.

[@mikzreyes]

na iyak ako. maraming salamat, mga maestros.

[@joeselcruel5687]

How sweet are the sounds of the guitar strings, the melodies of Harana tickle my memories, and the heritage and pride as a Filipino.

[@zoilodelossantos4300]

Thank you for reminding us about our heritage. Watching this video from a farm in Stung Treng, Cambodia

[@mitchtvill3442]

Woww Such beautiful music by these 2 great Fil artists!!! So nice to chance upon this 2 year old video! Sir Michael Dadap was our guitar teacher before.

[@wcaneyes1847]

Thank you so much for the wonderful concert, the music brought me back to Philippines, thouroughly enjoyed the masterful playing of these 2 artists. BRAVO!!!!

[@josieleal926]

[@prestoestennis1441]

Wow! These are beautiful music! Love the first piece. I would love to see a live concert now that the world has opened up. Bet there would be enough here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you for your talent and sharing! FaRah

[@jocelynstaudhammer5223]

Very nice music. I love the sound of the Banduria. You have played it very well.

[@constantinomaamo482]

Thank you mga Sirs, it is very nostalgic. I am so happy to hear Filipino Music played by two Filipino Classical Guitarists of the time. Dito sa amin wala na akong nakitang classical guitarist. kaya I am so greatly happy to hear the two of you. Thank you again. Maestro Michael Dapdap and Maesto Florante Aguilar.

[@botoyo7374]

You two must be concert-class guitarists. Superb performance!

[@janellrr7395]

Bravo! Made me very emotional for me. I felt like I heard my father and brother playing the guitars, especially that I am also from Southern Leyte.

[@aurora9363]

Thank you very much Maestros Michael and Florante for a very rich musical performance. Kudos!

[@startreker8591]

Ati ko pong singsing…isa sa fave kong awitin at paglaruan sa piano; ang abuela ko ay Kapangpangan at soloista sa Aglipay church…iyong Tatang ko ay nag-aral ng voces at siya ay tenor at ang voces na ang kulay timbre ay ala Jose Carreras.libangan ko din sa oido na paglaruan sa ibang estilo ang mga folk songs natin sa oido…cguro kung kinuha ko ang conservatory ay iyon, as advertised by my elder cuz( some were formally had taken the music course sa ciudad ng maynilad… btw c Moira De La Torre ay apó ko❤ she studied at De La Salle y my other nephew y nieces etc); my cuz was a member of University of The Philippines SaringHimig (under Professor Rey Paguio who was my cuz fr Balanga Bataan ); Ty guys for sharing🎉

[@wilmorplopinio6346]

Napaakagandang musika ang inihandog ninyo. This is great! Keep it up!

[@jamalfisher9391]

You both are the best.

[@kimwan1000]

What a thrill it was to listen to masters playing the classics from the Filipino treasure box. You can really tell the difference when the interpretation is coming from a master. I wish you two can play and record as many of the kundimans (especially the popular ones and adding of course some garnishings from your masterful fingers) so that the future generations can have something Filipino that they can enjoy and proudly share with peoples of other countries and culture. I believe every master is born to immortalize something of beauty or of the higher truth. Once again, thanks for this mini concert you gave us. I hope you can hear my clapping all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada. Your kababayan- Ed Uy

[@roqueconcepcion2673]

A million thanks for your sharing this video....

[@jessiesanpedro7320]

Napakahusay talaga. Nakakaaliw. Damangdama ang mensahe ng tugtugin...

[@lolaesther1285]

Mabuhay ang dalawang Maestro!

[@federiconalos8202]

This virtual concert is ABSOLUTELY the most amazing collaboration of especially talented and selfless artists of the ultimate skill with a stand-alone instrument. Never have I enjoyed and listening to the very end of the concert though remotely. Not only that, the impeccable guitarists are awesome, but the added historical features of kundiman music are a valuable addition to my life. A mere thank you is not sufficient. My greatest gratitude and respect to most talented Filipino musicians I've ever listened to. Respect and admiration from Orange Park, Florida, USA.

[@mamashinecalma2165]

MABUHAY Po kayo at Maraming Salamat sa pagbahagi niyo ng magandang musikang Pilipino🥰🥰🥰

[@rebeccaasedillo2481]

Michael Dadap, you are my favorite musician! Maraming, maraming salamat for the many hours of soothing music that have been a regular part of my day. I will always be grateful to you! Thank you po.

[@urbangypsy6557]

It's impossible not to get glued to their melodious expert performance especially if you're a guitar enthusiast like me. Their music gets to your heart and soul. I hope they'll record an album so we can buy it. ❤

Mabuhay po kayo. Mabuhay ang awiting Pilipino

[@ldalupan]

Love the intensity of traditional Philippine music. The repertoire just penetrate the very core of my Filipino being. We should promote this type of concert in Philippine Music Opera. It reminds me of my Philippine History of reformation during the Spanish regime. Let us promote this type of solo or dual concert.

[@vmind999]

The virtuosity of the Filipino not only in song but also the classical guitar. I regard Michael Dadap as the Andres Segovia of the Philippines. Florante Aguilar is a genius in his own right. Their music makes one wax nostalgic and long for those golden years.

[@reynaldoviola3222]

...totally overwhelmed by the virtuosos and their music...I hope to hear more from you two...

[@rosariobarrales9251]

So wonderful keeping the beautiful heritage of Filipino kundiman songs and harana praying we could still pass this rich culture of ours to next Filipino generation …..

[@rodericksibelius8472]

The structure of Philippine Classical Guitar music sounds like mother Colonial Spain; like the Music of Enrique Granados and Isaac Albeniz. Bravo Maestros. Actually Francisco Tarrega a Spaniard is the Founder / Father of this type or ROMANTIC Guitar playing in the late 1800's in Spain. Reply
