This song reminds me of my childhood as a Maranao. We usually sing this song when we are having a hand game, a game in which we stack our fists, building an imaginary staircase to the moon and stars. Thank you UST singers and to the one one who posted this video. ❤️
@@DonShei Maranao is actually a dialect of the the Mranaw tribe in the Philippines. They are representing 1.47% of the total population of the Philippines according to 2010 census.
25 years on I still remember their performance. Armida, Marcia, Jingbee, Melanie, Janette, Richard, Joven, Joel, etc. Indeed the best batch of UST Singers.
I used to play this children song-play with my peers when i was a child...POKPOK A LIMPAKO MALALAGOY SI DALI DAON SI POLO POLO BKAR KA SA ISA AN MASASAAAA.POLO....SUPERB RENDITION!
Ang galing talaga ng Pinoy..ito yun kanta ng manga kabataan sa Mindanao noong unang panahon. POKPOK ALIMPAKO LIMPAKO PIKO PIKO MALALAGOY SI DALI DAON SI POLO POLO BECAR KASAYSA ADEN MATATAROTOOP...yan ang narinig ko sa aking manga pamangkin jan sa Tanauan noong ako'y napadpad doon.
This interpretation has its flaws. But reading the sheets, I find this to be the closest, smoothest, and most accurate interpretation of this piece I've watched here. I understand the pressure of singing the notes precisely, hence the fierce look, but this is also supposed to be a fun children's play song ☺️
Sayang kung tinuloy ko yung Course q na B in Music dyn Sa UST... Mgiging member sna aq! gling nyo!!! Pera lng problema kc dpt knwldge hnd nbbyrn! peo gling nu!!!!!! kip up d gud wirj!
my hs vocal ensemble performed htis ...it was soo much fum! everytime we sang it we had ppl coming up to us going "omg that was so cool but wtf was that!" lol
That's true. But majority of these singers are from the capital region which doesn't speak the Maranao language. They speak English, Tagalog and usually one other dialect. Maranao is spoken in Mindanao. What is remarkable about the UST Singers is that they got everything right with this practically foreign tongue.
Pokpok Alimpako has been composed by Dr. Francisco Feliciano based on a Maranao children's song. It has been one of the contest pieces for NAMCYA's high school choir competition category in the 80s
This piece was composed by Francisco Feliciano for the Children's Choir Category in NAMCYA. It's basically a play of words depicting children at play. Nakaka-miss yung mga ganitong performance ng UST Singers. Di na kasi sila kumakanta masyado ng ethnic ngayon.
very nice, thanks. Hard to believe it's the same group on the Elijah Rock video, which I just listened to. E-mail me if you are coming to the DC area in the USA and I will definitely come see you! :)
This is a very simple Maranao game for children done by piling a number of fists laid on top of one another on a table.. The captain-ball then sings and pounds continuously the uppermost fist. Then when "bukar ka sa isa" (means you open one) is spoken, the lowermost fist should be opened... Singing and pounding is repeated.. So, after all the fists are opened, the game is over..
@evyjo33 there's no way that I can do this song like that XD I'm in it, too, and I can't sing it without laughing yet. Nor will i ever have this memorized.
wow.... magaling pero wala talagang papantay sa galing ng MADZ... pinakamagaling ang MADZ... madalas kinakanta yang kantang yan ng mabilis... pabilisan... naku MADZ talaga ang pinaka magaling... best rendition ay yung sa MADZ....
This isn't composed by UST definitely. The rendition is theirs of course. This is borrowed from the children's game of my people, the Maranaos, the people of the Lake.
i had to learn this for NJ all state chorus and LET ME TELL YOU it's a freaking hard song. this is the best version i have ever heard of it! :D
my choir's in the process of learning this song. it's extremely difficult.
This was the first rendition ive ever heard. And this is the only version im going to listen to.
I like how they sounded like children on this piece... been watching this for a week now

I wonder what percentage of Filipinos know the Maranao language. Can't under understand a thing here, even though I know almost 4 dialects.

I tried watching all those choirs singing this piece. UST Singers is the best.

Kasama ka diyan?
Ay shet malapit ka na mamatay tita
I used to play this children song-play with my peers when i was a child...POKPOK A LIMPAKO MALALAGOY SI DALI DAON SI POLO POLO BKAR KA SA ISA AN MASASAAAA.POLO....SUPERB RENDITION!
Probably the best version.
thesavvyfilipino true this is superb we tried our very best to perform this song but really not to this level
Nica Eleazar Not even the current batch of UST singers could perfom this better than this batch.

Proud maranao here !!!
Absolutely phenomenal performance: the sounds, textures, and musicality of this choir and piece is amazing.
Im a fan of Madz but particularly for this song I prefer this version of UST singers.
The voice style/sound gives me ASEAN vibes, Vietnam/Thailand? Though it is a Maranao Folk song

This is interesting when done by native speakers.

Froxy Macarambon gyaya e toos sa Batenger so Meranau a phaguinged sa Mantapoliarogong,Pilipinas sa masa imanto.
I think it would take great skills in singing trying to do that. That's gotta be hard to sing. No wonder they've won the competition with this piece.
@dantbp
huh?????The Original Version was from the AILM chorale....this is where Dr. Francisco Feliciano is teaching...
Mabilis kasi version ng madz thats why, pakantahin nyo kaya sila ng Pamugun.
Yeah I agreed to @dantbp...the best rendition!
@evyjo33 there's no way that I can do this song like that XD I'm in it, too, and I can't sing it without laughing yet. Nor will i ever have this memorized.
muy chevere, demasiado chico

wow.... magaling pero wala talagang papantay sa galing ng MADZ... pinakamagaling ang MADZ... madalas kinakanta yang kantang yan ng mabilis... pabilisan... naku MADZ talaga ang pinaka magaling... best rendition ay yung sa MADZ....
correction... singers pala.. hehe
that was scarey. right at the beginning and right at the end. Really good though after the first couple of laughs. OMG im whitewashed
i dont really like these type that much. but thats some really good shit
This isn't composed by UST definitely. The rendition is theirs of course. This is borrowed from the children's game of my people, the Maranaos, the people of the Lake.
Agree
came here because of modules
napanood ko yong sa AILM noh. hindi naman maganda.mas maganda pa nga yong interpretation ng mga chinese eh. UST singers has the best interpretation.
ung babae sa 00:26 sa kaliwa mukang galit
great
Up
mag kakaiba kasi yung mga genre ng choir mas magaling ang ust sa ethnic.. pls stop comparing,,
Galing talaga but why does the laugh sound so fake?
