Marco R. Valenciano plays Nicanor Abelardo's "Nasaan Ka, Irog?" on the piano.

Nicanor Abelardo was one of the most prominent composers of the Philippines. He pioneered the 'kundiman' as an art song form. "Nasaan Ka, Irog?" is one of his best-known kundiman songs. Abelardo included the vocal melody in the piano accompaniment, making it possible for it to be played independently as a piano solo.

Marco R. Valenciano studies piano at the University of the Philippines College of Music under the mentorship of Prof. Pia Margarita Balasico.

Recorded May 2014.
