  1. CEBUANO MUSIC

  2. The field of Visayan and Cebuano music is vast. This is indicated by the array of native musical instruments in the Visayas, which include percussion tubes called bayog and karatong, drums called guimbal and tugo, ribbon reeds called pasyok and turutot, lutes or buktot, violins or litguit, jew's harp or subing, clarinets or lantoy, flutes of tulali

  3. Ubiquitous too was vocal music since songs called ambahan, awit, or biyao were sung for many purposes and occasions. Songs included saloma (sailor songs), hila, hele, holo, and hia (work songs), dayhuan (drinking songs), kandu (epic songs), kanogon (dirges), tirana (debate songs), the balitao romansada (song form of the balitao) as well as religious chants, courtship and wedding songs, lullabies and children's songs, and songs that accompanied various types of dances ad performances.

  4. Spanish colonial rule exposed Visayans to Western music traditions. The Spanish guitar called sista in Cebuano, superseded indigenous string instruments akin to it and became so popular that the Visayas, particularly Cebu, has acquired a reputation not only for guitar players but for the manufacture of fine guitars. Other instruments, like the alpa (harp), also became widely diffused in the Visayas. The Spaniards also introduced the Christmas carol called dayegon and a more Latin touch to the serenade or harana.

  5. Catholic liturgical music and associated religious songs also became an important part of the music tradition of the Visayas. The first half of the 20th century saw a flowering of Cebuano music composition. A major factor was the rise of Cebuano theater in the early 1900s, with the sarswela or musical play as the most popular dramatic form.

  6. Off-theater, there were open-air plays staged in Visayan villages as well as neighborhood performances of the Cebuano balitao. The wide repertoire of Visayan songs includes ballads, lullabies, harana (serenade), children's songs, working songs, drinking songs, nonsense songs, and a lively song-and-dance debate called balitaw. For a sampling of one or more of these genres

  7. Bisrock: The Elevation of Cebuano Music • Bisrock, is short for “bisaya na rock”. “Bisaya” is the Cebuano term for Cebuano language and this has proved to become the ultimate name for the new genre, that is, modern Cebuano music.
