BUHAT (Kundiman) - Lilia Reyes video:


"Buhat" is a classic Kundiman composition by Mike Velarde (not to be confused with the rich Charismatic lay preacher with the same name who wants to run for presidency). Lyrics written by Dominador Santiago. Interpreted by the popular coloratura soprano of the 1950's, Miss Lilia Reyes, under the music supervision of Leopoldo Silos. Audio from a vintage phonograph recording played and recorded via USB turntable. The audio was "cleaned" using a sound editor to minimize the unwanted and numerous clicking sound coming from the old phonograph. *************************************************** ABOUT MIKE VELARDE (MIGUEL VELARDE JR.) Composer, conductor, and musical director, Mike Velarde (aka Miguel Velarde Jr.) was born in Manila on 23 October 1913 and had his first taste of musical teachings from his mother Dolores Guison, who taught him piano and violin. He studied at the Zamboanga Normal School, where he became a member of the school orchestra. He went to Manila to pursue medicine at the University of the Philippines, but later discovered that it was music that he truly loved. His father, Dr. Miguel Velarde Sr., objected to his plans to pursue a career in music. To support his dream, he became a bus conductor. Later he ran a weekly show, Stardust Program, where he sang and played his own jazz arrangements on the piano. Velarde learned the basics of harmony and composition from Antonio Molina and Ariston Avelino, and deepened his knowledge through self-study. He dabbled into musical scores for Sampaguita Films' movie production and managed the outfit's advertising. During the Japanese Occupation, he worked as a musical director for Avenue Theatre, where his concertized arrangements of folk songs like Planting Rice were well-received by the audience. Regarded as his most important works are Luksang Tagumpay (1960), which received the FAMAS Best Picture award from the Filipino Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS), and for which he wrote the story and screenplay, and Alaala Kita (1961). Some of his compositions includes the following Kundimans: * Ikaw (from Milagro ng Nazareno), 1935 * Dahil Sa Iyo (from Bituing Marikit), 1938 * Habang Buhay (from Lagot na Kuwintas), 1938 * Lahat ng Araw (from Pasang Krus), 1939 * Dating Sumpaan (from Ang Dating Sumpaan), 1939 * Minamahal Kita (from Niña Bonita), 1940 He won the FAMAS awards for the story of Luksang Tagumpay and for his musical direction of Alaala Kita. As a composer, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter first influenced Velarde. Later, he created his own style and produced songs such as Ikaw (1935), Lahat ng Araw (1939), Habang Buhay (1938), Minamahal Kita, Ikaw ay Akin (1940), and Dahil Sa Iyo (1938). In 1970, he won the Best conductor award at the First International Popular Song Contest in Japan, where his composition As Long as Forever was the Philippine entry. In 1975 the Philippine Government Cultural Association awarded him the Cultural Achievement Award in Popular Music. He received the Gawad CCP Para Sa Sining in 1986.
