The Songs that come from the distant shores of the Visayan Islands are legion, ranging from songs that speak gently of love and happiness, of deep sorrow and lamentation, to songs that express the joy and contentment of a people nurtured by the life-giving rivers, the earth and the sky. The Visayans are extremely fond of strumming home-made guitars when their work is done or after they have come home with a bountiful catch from the high seas, on the palm-fringed shores, with the sun sulking underneath a canopy of clouds among the hillsides. From these awe-inspiring sceneries in the south, VILLAR RECORDS have culled a dozen songs for the album of popular Visayan songstress Pauline Sevilla...songs that are representative of the day to day longing and expression of the Visayans, in the Cebuano dialect... Songs from the Visayas (Cebuano).
