I am honored to see this online. I am the third child of Fortunata Magsipoc Ledesma's youngest son Michael (+). Thank you for posting this. Indeed, my paternal grandmother's music transcended geographic boundaries and language barriers. She was a woman of talent and sheer charisma. Thank you for doing justice to her song. "Dandansoy" was a type of seaweed that grew on the shores of Payao, a fishing village in Culasi, Antique, Philippines, where she met my grandfather Ernesto Ledesma, a carpenter par excellence. Because he was of Spanish descent and son of landed gentry, she thought he should do something more than carpentry, but he refused, wanting instead to stay and build the school in which she was Principal. She called him "Dandansoy"- because his love never changed no matter what the season, no matter how high or low the tide.
@Malvin. Very reminiscence and nostalgic song for me as I'm Bisaya myself and being able to hear this song from my younger days. It now become a Legend if not a history. Many thanks to your Lola Fortunata, may Peace be upon Her.
melvin ledesma thank you for posting. I had been singing this song since I was a kid..every time I am homesick.. I sing this song with tears on my cheeks flowing. As an OFw that has left Iloilo for 30 years thank you to your grandmother.
I'm proud this song because back in my younger years my Mother sung this song with my father playing guitar in the place in the middle of mountain where our house standing alone..both my parents now in heaven. I remember this song up to now everytime I heard this song I always crying because I remember my father and my Mother😥
at my age of 5 it was 1961 my mama sang me dandansoy a cebuano version,,,,(cebuano is a dialect on cebu province ,in the philippines where i came from) and today i'm 67yrs of age still sing a dandansoy,,,,thank you so much social media for playing this kind of pilipino folksong ,and to all foriegnh people who loves pilipino music,,,,,,, 2:07
Why do foreign choirs who dont speak our language choose our childhood folk songs to sing for their choirs? I am glad they do coz i enjoy listening to them.
I never thought foreigners will sing our Filipino folk songs and I do love listening to these kind of songs because I grew up around it. My aunt was a music teacher having graduated from the Conservatory of Music of the University of Sto. Tomas and she always plays the classical as well as folk songs.
Its an ilonggo tribe song that sung by a young beautiful fisherman's daughter who lives on a hut (a fish cage underneath) in the middle of the sea(called PAYAO) which can be seen from the distance shore during sunny days. She and her dad used to sail (using bangka) and sell their harvested fish to the shore and to buy supplies and groceries to last for next harvest(months). And during her few days in the shore, she met and fell in love with the local boy(named Dandansoy). Each time she leave him (to went back to payao) she found the loneliness and emptiness of her heart, so she just made this song to let dandansoy knows how she felt. It's like too close yet too far love story. This song is soo great that even you can't understand the lyrics but you can felt the emptiness and loneliness by just listening to the melody. Like if you felt it too. Gracias!
Wow! This is the best "lullaby," I used to sing, while I swung around on my shoulder in a slow motion, my baby son and put him to sleep in no time at all long time ago so I could work without interruption. It always worked as my old folks did the same to me in my toddler days too.
Goosebumps! definitely. That's incredible choir.you made us Filipinos so proud. I can't get over it. Thank you for singing our folksong. You sang it beautifully.
Composed by Fortunata (Dioso) MAGSIPOC way back 1920s and was published in 1953 on "Philippine Music Horizons" book categorized under Songs of Home and Country. Fortunata (Dioso) MAGSIPOC, graduated at Philippine Normal School (now University) in Manila. She became a Music Teacher of Culasi Central School fr 1920s til late 30s. In 1939, she along wtih her husband, Ernesto (Arriola) LEDESMA and children settled and found their luck in Cotabato Province, Mindanao. Fortunata (Dioso) MAGSIPOC was the daughter of Culasi Municipal President Don Guillermo MAGSIPOC [ruled 1910-13] and Doña Carmela DIOSO payaw referring to a far-away land
To Patok Sa Takilya, the composer of this song was from Culasi, Antique. Please read the story behind the song written by the grandson of Fortunata Magsipoc. The lyrics are all Karay-a. You have to understand that the Karay-a of the north is somewhat different from the south. Maybe some of the Culasi folks brought this song to Negros when they worked as sakadas.
I go back again and again to this video, watch, listen and sing "Dandansoy" with them. I remember my grandmother who hailed from Aklan, Philippines singing this as a lullaby to us. Never fails to bring me to tears as my thoughts bring me to those years! Thank you always for this beautiful rendition and for posting this video!!
Wow, it makes me cry, I remember my mother, she's from panay, dto ako ipinanganak sa Palawan but I know this song, lagi namin to kinakanta sa bahay nong maliliit pa kami. Thank you for sharing your videos. And now ko rin Lang nalaman Yung story behind the song.
Dear Sir David B, This is an excellent rendition of a classic Filipino folk song. Thank you for appreciating and sharing our music. My 10-cents as a musician (amateur) who hails from a rural town in Iloilo Province, Panay island, Philippines: The lyrics as sung are in Hiligaynon. Hiligaynon is the dialect spoken in Iloilo City, other towns of Iloilo Province, some areas in the Province of Capiz, and all of Negros Occidental (western side of Negros Island). Kinaray-a, also mentioned in earlier comments is a variation of Hiligaynon. It is spoken in many rural areas of Iloilo Province AND all of Antique Province (west coast of Panay Island). Most Hiligaynon and Kinaray-a speakers can understand each other. Re: Origin. The most common version is in Hiligaynon and the place "Payaw" points to the town of Payao (Coordinates: 10.176401, 122.944951), mentioned in earlier comments, in the Province of Negros Occidental on Negros Province. Therefore, it is most likely of Hiligaynon origin. There was also mention of Bicolano origin. I believe the reason for that is because the Bicolano and Hiligaynon dialects have several words in common. However, all words in the song are Hiligaynon.
Raymond Deza NOT Bicol actually, but WARAY there are 3 to 5 words that are not WARAY but the rest literally are WARAY words, because WARAY dialect has the advantage it is mixed, Cebuano, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo) a a little of Bicolano specifically the Island of Catanduanes and Masbate!
Lovely song... Old song i used to listen when i was a small kid... I was born in a very remote place somewhere south of the philippine island... Nowadays you wont hear this song anymore where it began...
Very very beatiful the is almost an even i did see an angel but very very greet and the conductor so greet please continue your journy, all of you has a gift from heaven so waste your time your gift and especially your life you have so please go on thanks from cebu philippines
I'm so glad to read Melvin Ledesma comments. This was one of my father's favorite song & it's so nicely arranged & sung by this choir. I was born & raised in Aklan, which is the next door province of Antique where this song originated. When we were young my father would sing this song to us when we cried or got cranky. He would pick us up in his arms & then would dance & sing Dandansoy, his lullaby. But not only my father, it was sang a lot especially during my parents' generation. The dialect of Antique is very similar to our Aklan dialect so it's like our very own song. Thanks to your grandfather for this beautiful composition & thanks for posting David B.
I've always sing this song when I was young to make may siblings sleep.. Salute to the choir.. They sing well.. Congratulations.. And God bless.. From the city of Love: Iloilo
Wow!! Grabe kaiyak natayo balahibo ko, miss ko na mga taga payao,. Galing ng mga choir mag kanta ng ilongo..Dandansoy bayaan ta ikaw pauli ako sa payao, ugaling kung ikaw ang hidlawon ang payao imo lang lantawon. ♥️♥️
I felt nostalgic listening to our folk songs...hearing it sang by foreigners i felt proud that our Filipino folk songs were really beautiful n hopefully will never forgotten😍😻❤💚💙💜👍
How I love this choir's renditionnof the song. My late father used to sing this song and he hailed from that Payao place, although he was from Himamaylan but plenty relatives out there in Payao, Binalbagan, Neg.Occ.Philippines.
i really amazed of there performance because i am pure blooded speaker. bisaya and idk how to sung this song and how come they are like more than me.. tears while watching your performance from cebu. "please understand my grammar and my spelling english is my 5th language.
Thank you, Sir for uploading this video! Thank you or shall I say it , "Salamat guid!" to your daughter and the choir for singing a Visayan Folk song. Feels like they are singing it for me since my nickname is "Dandan". Hehe! Have a great day! writing to you from Iloilo, Western Visayas, Philippines!
Awesome thanks a lot for choosing folk song I remember this song n my school days n 1990's generation it's an honored for us as a Filipino that we heard in other country to sang this song. God bless u *,*
my hair is raising while hearing your awesome rendition of this song, being a native of that place i feel proud and giving you my BIGGEST THANK YOU. oh i miss my hometown. BRAAAAVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOO.
David B Sorry no. Even though I was born, raised and still live here, I don't often hear dialects outside Tagalog or Bisaya. They are the most common along with English.
***** OK, wrong choice of word. Illongo is language, not a dialect. I understand and appreciate your intention, but you're spending an awful lot of effort over something as trivial as a youtube comment. The 1st 3 sentences of your reply would've been enough. Peace.
Melvin Ledesma, I don’t know the meaning of Dandansoy. I am from Region5 in Bicol.If not for your translation I don’t know that it’s a seaweed.I thought it’s a bird or a fruit.Its a very antique song passed for generations.And it’s an honor to your great GrandMother and Her great grandchildren for this composition that reaches distant shores.So amazing to hear this from different International Choirs
We are currently studying about this song in my school. Its a story of a girl leaving someone (IMm not sure if its her bf or whatever). You actually sang it nicely. The only thing funny was the accent. Hahahaha Ex: lang will be loang Hahaha but nicely done
I love the areglo i remember my grade school years we often sing this song but now i dont know filipino teach this heritage filipino song. Thanks for featuring this filipino folk songs by giving beautiful rendition.
How I was amazed seeing foreigners singing our old native love song. Thank very much ladies and to your very good Batton Master. Congratulations. I am waiting for your more songs posted in YT. God blessed.
This is, I usually sing in our classroom program in elementary(grade 1) way back in the late 70's. The other one is : May Kabaw akong gialimahan ;'Clementine;sinina ug sako,Ang bulan hapit na mosalop.
I'm teary-eyed watching. I honestly feel proud. Although, this is a woman's song and I'm a Bisaya yet, I loved, learned, and considerably keep singing this song as of this writing. Just Imagine, since mid '60's till this day. Some Filipino Folk Songs. . . . . . . .
Thank You, I think I understand..Payao is a village, named after the fish traps.. Whenever I asked my Mom, she told me about a fish trap, but in the context of the song it's a place or village..
This is my favorite song whenever l put my daughter to sleep in an aboy aboy, slowly swinging it to and fro. I usually followed it with lli-ili tulog anay, and Rosing. My grandchildren also like Lawiswis Kawayan.
This song still gives me goosebumps! My mother who passed away just a few years ago and was born from Barbaza, Antique used to sing often this beautiful and lovely song for us.
I am honored to see this online. I am the third child of Fortunata Magsipoc Ledesma's youngest son Michael (+). Thank you for posting this.

My daughter and I are grateful for your Lola's music, and so glad for a chance to perform this from distant shores so far from Payao..

My aunt was a music teacher having graduated from the Conservatory of Music of the University of Sto. Tomas and she always plays the classical as well as folk songs.
While "poetry is the music of the soul" (Voltaire), "music is the language of the soul".
I am honored being a Filipina. Nov. 13, 2019.

Not English, not Tagalog, it's a Visayan folk song
Not exactly. It's a Bikol-Bisaya song, the lyrics changes between the 2 dialects in the song.
PaszerDye Thank you! Not familiar with Bikol??
David B
Sorry no. Even though I was born, raised and still live here, I don't often hear dialects outside Tagalog or Bisaya. They are the most common along with English.

The choir was a High School Choir, no longer singing together. Thanks
Makes me cry listening to this one. Reminds me of my grandma singing this song to us when we were young. Thank you guys!!!
You're Welcome

@@vincentryanborres Thanks, Where is back home? My Maternal Family is from Mandurriao, Iloilo, Fraternal from Bacoor Cavite
@@Cast412 Wow! Small world. Im actually from Roxas City, Capiz which is just neighbouring province to Iloilo. That's why you know Dandansoy.
@@vincentryanborres , My family knows Dandansoy. My daughters High School chose it as one of their performance pieces, that was sweet!
This is, I usually sing in our classroom program in elementary(grade 1) way back in the late 70's. The other one is : May Kabaw akong gialimahan ;'Clementine;sinina ug sako,Ang bulan hapit na mosalop.
Miguel Salvador. Clementine is a Song in America.Oh my darling Clementine is an American folk ballad.Not originated from our Country Philippines

Me too, Ilonnga me day.
I'm teary-eyed watching. I honestly feel proud. Although, this is a woman's song and I'm a Bisaya yet, I loved, learned, and considerably keep singing this song as of this writing. Just Imagine, since mid '60's till this day. Some Filipino Folk Songs. . . . . . . .

When I was a child, I thought this song was about soy beans being harvested.
Nope, it's a woman waiting for her lover named Dandansoy.
LOL!
It's a woman leaving her lover name dandansoy.
Haha..take namn layo noon
O my Dandansoy where shores have you been gone. Love lots from Philippines!
Thank you (Salamat)
I am glad to hear my own native language sing by children with angelic voice
Thanks
Thank You, I think I understand..Payao is a village, named after the fish traps.. Whenever I asked my Mom, she told me about a fish trap, but in the context of the song it's a place or village..
Payao means a small huose at the farmland.
@@blanc5252 payao or payag is a nipa hut house.
This is my favorite song whenever l put my daughter to sleep in an aboy aboy, slowly swinging it to and fro. I usually followed it with lli-ili tulog anay, and Rosing. My grandchildren also like Lawiswis Kawayan.
@@Jade-jd5sf yeah, my comment is for david not for you 🙂 he maybe dont know what nipa is🙂
@@magelsalarda6001 THANKS
Sad song of farewell in my native tongue...
