*** from TREASURY OF PHILIPPINE GUITAR MUSIC ***

Someone suggested that I cover a very simple piece, so I chose this traditional lullaby from the Visayas titled Dandansoy which became popular in the 1940s. It's about a woman who said goodbye to her husband and gave him some instructions in case he looks for her. The arrangement is easy and doesn't require a lot of time to learn. There is no concensus on who the composer is nor where the song actually originated from in the Visayan islands. Nevertheless, it has made its way into the Filipino's musical tradition and it is as popular today as it was more than 80 years ago. Thanks for watching!
