Awit Ko'y Dinggin - Harana Kings (Celestino Aniel & Florante Aguilar)

Excerpt from Harana the Movie

I’ll never forget the first time I met him as captured in this scene from the Harana film. This was literally the first time we met and played together. I think you can get a sense that we were feeling each other out.
I had no idea what I was getting other than what the village-folk was saying - that he once was the go-to haranista (serenader) of the town.
Prior to this moment, I had begun questioning whether my quest for authentic haranistas was just a fantasy or wishful thinking. We have “auditioned” several haranistas from province to province and finding them - well let’s just say all haranistas are not created equal.
Until I met Celestino Aniel. It was then that I knew we have a magical film in our hands.
Many thanks to producer Fides Enriquez, my wife, co-creator and chief enabler. And to Benito Bautista helming our film crew with enthusiasm and creative energy. And to the film crew of about 14 (from grip to drivers) for braving it with us traveling remote provinces.
And so proud of our cinematographer Peggy Peralta who won the Cinematography - Documentary Feature Honorable Mention Award at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (2013) for her work in Harana.
The full feature documentary is still available for free in TH-cam:

My birth year is in 2008 but I was exposed to a lot of old Filipino music because of my grandparents and I'm so grateful that I got to know them. Throughout the video, I cried and I don't know how to explain it exactly but there's just something there that feels so comforting and captivating.

[@FloranteAguilarGuitar]

It’s your ancestors speaking to you :)

[@darioangeles3253]

i had the same exact reaction... we're old soul... meaning ur a wonderful, empathetic, compassionately good human being... Bless you...

[@lolobashong3906]

I agree with you! We're also the same birth year, yet I'm exposed to all of these old goodies. I sing them as well. Ako'y umaawit pangunahin sa dyanra ng Kundiman tapos ay sa mga lumang OPM tulad nina Rico J., Hajji, etc. Umaawit din ako ng mga Traditional Pop tulad ni Engelbert Humperdinck, Andy Williams, atbp. Mayroon nga akong pinagmamay-ariang turntable kung saan napapatugtog ko ang 'Lumang Simbahan' ni Larry Miranda.

[@jeishisensei6048]

Yeah for real

[@zenuxlg3127]

Same actually I'm also 2008. It's too captivating and I'm trying to learn kundiman songs

[@peterramirez3429]

I Can't remember the exact date when i was a student when they fixed a trip in our school to watch this and now i was in tears when i was watching this right now, thankyou Kuya Florante.

Awit ko'y dinggin, bintana mo'y buksan
Pati na bituin tila naghihintay
Kailan ba Mutya, aking makakamtan
Ang pag-asang dulot ng iyong kagandahan?
Ang tanging araw nang kita'y magkita
Sa aking puso'y laging alaala
Kailan ba Mutya, aking makakamit
Ang ligayang dulot ng iyong kagandahan?
Ang tanging araw nang kita'y makita
Sa aking puso'y laging alaala
Kaya't dinggin mo ang awit ko sinta
Manungaw ka't lunasan yaring madlang dusa.

[@minedelapaz7128]

ay ganda sa aking pandinig

[@yaboizenos5151]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the sentence that says "Kailan ba Mutya aking makakamit" should be " Kailan ba Mutya aking makakamtan?" It rhymes with "ang ligayang dulot ng iyong kagandahan."Just curious. When we were serenading back in 60's I used to sing that song. Maybe I am not singing it correctly. Sorry!

[@jadejuliado9921]

Andito ako dahil sa TikTok.

[@reneanyayahan7525]

Ngayon ko lamang napagtuunan ng pansin ang channel mo. Tubo ako ng Mindoro, nagaral at nag hanapbuhay sa Maynila at ngayo naririto sa Los Angeles simula ng 1990. Noong kabataan ko pa (teenager) ay mandalas akong sumama sa Harana sapagkat kami lamang ang mayroong gitara Kudyapi) . Nakalulungkot na halos wala na ang harana ngayon……ang dahilan, technology. Everybody owns a cellphone and it’s much easier and faster to express themselves thru this media. The deep personal involvement in expressing yourself is no longer there.

[@tachiebillano6244]

Just finished watching the documentary. Magical moment. Hindi mo aakalaing may tinatagong magic si Lolo Tino. Magugulat ka na lang pag kanta niya. Grabe. Para kang biglang tinatangay at dinuduyan, patungo sa isang malayong lugar na kung saan nabubuhay pa rin pala ang iyong nasawing kasintahan.

[@renatolamo3302]

Napakaganda pakingan!

[@jendellkylearias1341]

Im currently 18 yrs old i was born on 2005 and i didn't really get to hear the "kundiman" song before because my dad played the song air supply instead 😅
I didn't get to meet my grand parents also and didn't get to talk to them about traditional culture before, and recently i've watched YOUR documentary about "HARANA" after that documentary i cried and cried realizing that i will never hear this kind of music in my generation and at the same time proud of our traditional culture, and now i just wish that this typical filipino tradition will be revive once again so that my future children will remember the golder era of our country❤❤
Since then pinapakinggan ko na yung mga song na na ginawa niyo ❤❤❤

[@FloranteAguilarGuitar]

Glad to hear it resonated to young audience like you! Thanks for watching ❤️♥️

[@dianaacademia9493]

Salamat Mr. Florante Aguilar sa pagshare mo nang mga lumang musika at kanta... ang galing mong gumitara... Ading maraming salamat sa mga ginagawa mk ngayon ... Patnubayan ka ng ating PANGINOON JESUS sa pagbuhay mo sa ating napakagandang mga musika...

[@markanthonynatulla2880]

Sobra kong tinatangkilik ang awit mu lolo at sa husay ng iyong paggitara sir npakasarap pakinggan

[@luisdeleon9819]

When I first heard Cuba's Ibrahim Ferrer, this is the Filipino singing that came to my mind. Thank you Florante for presenting it.

[@justatool80]

Lagi akong naiiyak pag pinapa nood ko itong video na ito. Naaalala ko kasi ang Lolo't Lola at napapa isip sa naging buhay nila nung mga bata pa sila. Maraming Salamat Lolo Tinio and Sir Florante.

[@realchesterilao4833]

rest in peace mamay tino

[@littlemomment]

I love this rendition. I listened to Ruben Tagalog using Apple Music, and then played this one; this rendition resonates with the soul. The raw voice, emotional appeal, and simplistic sound of the acoustic guitar make it very authentic. I just love it. Thank you for rediscovering the harana and introducing this genre of music to the young generation. It is almost a lost art.

[@FloranteAguilarGuitar]

Thank you! :)

[@dantegierran3110]

Good description, my friend

[@mariabuena1091]

Just discoverd this channel, " @ lilttle momment" your beautiful description comment is exactly what i have to say. It Bring back memories , dreaming of my old times. Thank you thank you Florante Aquilar.

I wish they could live forever to share their songs....

[@edwintopacio2496]

Salamat Ginoong Florante at Ginoong Celestino (SLN). Ang Kundiman (Serenade)ang nag iisa at natatanging handog ng Pilipinas (Purong Pilipino) sa mundo ng musika. Salamat at pinanatili nyong buhay.

[@paulinocera2418]

Nakakatuwa na balikan ang mga mkalumang awiting Pilipino

[@julietapescasiomapa2568]

I would like to say thank you for bringing out the best of our culture and pride to the world,even though obviously my age and your age is more junior than the rest of harana kings.I myself considered you as one of the greatest musician with an old soul,and a great historian ever lived.

[@1tsMeCarpeDiem]

Simplicity is beauty. Listening to the soothing voice and the perfect accompaniment of a guitar carry you to a state of tranquility.

[@emmananiel1584]

That's my lolo🥺🥺🥰🥰

[@ramonpurugganan6865]

Beautiful.
Nostalgic.
Truly Filipino.
The voice is inexplicsbly relaxing.
It is way better listening to than than the birit and kulot voices at feeling imported Pinoy singers.
Extremely refreshing.
Just a voice and a guitar,, yes, but with their talents and love for Filipino traditional airs combined, an outstanding rendition of a kundiman is created.
Raw talents..
Lots of Filipino soul.
Please upload more of these gems.please.
God bless you especially si Kuya kundiman singer. Take good care of your health.
Just wow.

[@FloranteAguilarGuitar]

Thank you!

Natatabdaan ko ito at narinig ko nung ako ay bata pa, at isa abf nsnay ko sa mahilug kumanta at isinssli sa kantahan tzwing pyesta sa barangay.❤

[@jokelang1725]

This song is just beautiful, it makes me feel lucky and proud to be born into Filipino culture.
However, there was something about THIS rendition that always touched my heart. As another comment stated, this version definitely feels more raw and emotional which is why it will always be my favorite!
Beautiful!

[@FloranteAguilarGuitar]

Thanks for watching ! :)

[@UwenTagalog]

we need to revive this kind of culture, we need harana, we need to serenade to express our pure love

[@eleuterioflorendo469]

Hindi magkalayo ang galing ninyo sa pag-awit kay Ruben Tagalog. The singer has excellent and outstanding voice. The guitarist is outstanding and excellent musician too.Only very few could accompany harana songs now for the new generation. I like to hear your song again and again. Your accompaniment to the song is the best!!!!

[@laurobasanes5911]

Ayus ang awit ni tatang.. nagmula sa puso nya .. mas ayus pag guitara ni Florante .. magaling talaga .. Nice!

As a child attending Chinese school in the Philippines, it felt different when I first heard Ruben Tagalog on radio. It was a voice representing everything that is Filipino and it registered deep within me. I felt the same thing all over again when I heard the voice of tatay Tino!
