University of the Philippines Manila Chorale - Rosas Pandan

[@arvtara.1659]

What’s with RosasPandan? Here am I in the midst of arctic-like Canadian winter at 2 am watching (and re-watching) several versions of the song from different countries, and still mesmerized and fixated by it. Simply stunning!!! 😘❤️❤️👍👏

[@kuyadio436]

Rosas means rose while pandan is an indigenous plant that can only be found in SEA countries and those 2 plants smells really good which are also used in culinary (just like Laurel leaves) maybe the composer used them as a reference of the girl's gorgeousness. Rosas pandan was all about a boy named Dodong who's watching at Inday while dancing the girl who went down to the town to join a happy gathering.

[@arvtara.1659]

Tang Inasal thank you

[@zaberguait]

Thank you sir. Sorry if some of us were so proud of our traditional folk song, we are quite emotional with regards to our culture. Peace!

[@leahbrosnan7774]

It’s about the gorgeous farm girl who is singing and dancing gracefully during the festival while the lad admiring her from afar drooling. Ti-gi-dong, ti-gi-dong, ti-gi-dong pertains to his heartbeat as he is looking at the girl. This song is also about unexpressed love and admiration.

[@CarlosRodriguez-ed6bu]

Pilita corrales sang that song en tagalog and spanish

[@jobaytube]

finally found the Philippine version after watching the rest of the world's version. Still gets the best of it.

[@maayongaga729]

Where else can we find the best interpretation of this song? From the land where it came from.👏👏👏👏👏

[@arvtara.1659]

Guys, enough lifting your own seats. Having it sung worldwide is enough testament that’s it’s simply beautiful!

[@guiaborja5768]

i wonder why you made such remarks are you jealous of how they choreographed and sang the song?

[@rogeliozamora9264]

True. It is as simply beautiful as it is quite challenging to master.. That is why it is so popular a repertoire for any chorale ensemble to perform before a packed audience. And here, the UP Manila Chorale excels with its brilliant rendition. Watch their performance with this song in Germany; and you'll know why.

[@upwindashley56]

This is how this song is done. Bravo!

[@lachlangmbh8947]

Yeah In Philippines you have to smile when you sing..or else people wont like it

[@-cutekey2454]

@@lachlangmbh8947 ok

[@LuvMyLilBabe]

ya they better get it right or else I will have to pay them a visit 😂

[@willyreyes2769]

I'm a Filipino from Manila I love this Folk Song but like everyone else I don't understand the lyrics its in Visayan cebuano dialect down South .but love it

[@margaritalagumbay8310]

True, smile expresses your inner feelings of delight and happiness

[@spyware3113]

This Visayan Folk Song, "Rosas Pandan," sung by international choirs - professional and/or non - professional - seems to be a favorite tune chosen for contests, or for simple entertainment, the World over. It makes me even prouder of our heritage and culture, knowing the World wants a "taste" of it via song. Hearing/watching Filipinos themselves singing it is overwhelmingly powerful to the ears & can bring tears to the eyes - at least Filipino eyes. And THIS particular performance, for me, is, so far, the BEST one. GREAT job, Sir Conductor. Mabuhay, po, kayong lahat!!!!

[@santih2569]

Makes me so proud :) i want to learn bisaya

[@mh1864]

this is the best version

[@vincentreyes6154]

Strange how a Manilan choral ensemble (who is most likely Tagalog) is singing a Bisayan song. Not complaining though, it was so refreshing to hear one of our own Kababayan sing this. I'm going to sing this with our school's chamber choir in a few months, and I'm the only Visayan in my choir. LEL. Mabuhay!

[@cesc7804]

The song is about Rosas Pandan, a maiden from the barrios, who regularly visits the town proper to join the festivities. Her skill is improptu recital of poems(“balagtasan” friendly competition between men and women in poetic format much the same as the rapping), the only “wealth” bequeathed to her by her parents. She’s very popular in her neighborhood for this quick-wit skill. The latter part of the song describes Dodong, her admirer, who drools every time he sees Rosas Pandan.

[@cesc7804]

I forgot to describe the middle part is about this tradition, basically an old “song” accompanied with beautiful dancing, described as “as cold/refreshing as a dew” (maybe because Philippines is a hot and humid country).

[@AdelisaSmith]

@@cesc7804oh thank you so much for transcribing it. I speak Waray therefore I have no clue what the lyrics meant.

[@joelpalanca5513]

Tnk u for d info. My mother is cebuana n she used to sing this song to me n my siblings when we were kids. Im amazed that this song is a popular piece for choirs worldwide

[@cjayonia3628]

Maraming foreign choir na sinubok kantahin ito,pero d'best pa rin talaga ang mga original na lahing nagmamay ari ng awiting ito

[@mariahotmailstuart4522]

100% agree

[@comeonmate3743]

Almost perfect pero yung pronunciation nila sa “Dodong” ay mali... its “Dudung”

[@comeonmate3743]

yung University of Visayas na choir perfection tlga...

[@margaritalagumbay8310]

Kasi naawit nila ito ng buong puso,may damdamin at galak kaya nga may mga ngiti sila sa labi...

[@albertclimacosa8190]

Iba talaga pag Pilipino na ang Kumanta ng sariling kanta natin ( Rosas Pandan ) Bukod sa Malinaw ang Pag bigkas ng Bawat Salita s kanta eh, may Puso ang Bawat isa sa pag kanta nito.. 👍👍👍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@renpinero3171]

And here i am..still getting goosebumps even if ive already seen more than a dozen choirs from all over the world performing this song.

[@arvtara.1659]

So far, the ranking below is the top notched rendition from among non-Filipino choral groups. McCleans College ensemble also presents a very diverse excellent representation of individuals: 1. The Kiwis (McClean College) 🇳🇿 2. The Canucks (University of British Columbia) 🇨🇦 3. (TBA- it was a big ensemble from a high school choir) 🇺🇸

[@LuvMyLilBabe]

I like the Romanian choir version as well

[@tongtv1709]

Try the Romanian version

[@belindasmith4690]

Same here, watching different version of this folk song from my dialect, in a cold autumn night here in Washington D.C...When I was young, I was never interested in it. But now, I love it. Thanks 😊❤️👍

[@lordsirnoelmanchester3592]

With this kind of production one will never stop to mesmerize to the rhythm and sound of an authentic Filipino visayan songs.

[@zenaidavalentine9897]

Merci Beaucoup, Magnifique...Bravo!...watching in France November 2019....

[@adamchristophermaraya1920]

"Ayay usab si Dodong Nagtan-aw KANG Inday" - thanks UP Manila Chorale you've got the lyrics right (oh well, I'm expecting it actually). Unfortunately, there a few great renditions of this beautiful song that completely changed the meaning of the entire story. Its when they replaced "kang" to "si" - "Ayay usab si Dodong Nagtan-aw SI Inday" (incorrect) - which meant the girl staring at the boy, which should have been the other way. This decade long story depicts a picture of how conservative and demure Filipino women way back (and until today) for most. :)

[@romaamorpax5065]

Kaya maraming kumakanta Ng folksong Ng nga pilipino sabi Ng kuya ko dhil nandon na ang lahat Ng dynamic Ng kanta .tataas,bababa,bibilis,babagal,hihina,lalakas.

[@otrebor7631]

Ang galling. Ilang beses ko rin pina ulit ulit😊

[@arvtara.1659]

The story it depicts reminds me of the more tragic, yet another lovely classic folksong from the Carribean by Jose Marti of Cuba, Guantanamera (the girl from Guantanamo province)

[@Everestsage]

I’m having to sing this at my schools fall choir concert in October in our newest auditorium and I love this song already
