Cultural background of rosas pandan

Traditional folk song “Rosas Pandan” is a song of joy and love

George Hernandez, conductor of the Saringhimig Singers from San Francisco has captured the native Visayan flavor in this rousing and playful arrangement “Caturog Na, Nonoy” is a beautiful lullaby which features an alto solo accompanied by the choir

Much of the belated success of Rosas Pandan as an international choral favorite goes to the intricate vocal arrangements by George Gemora Hernandez, a fixture in the San Francisco Bay Area choral and classical music scene

As additional information, Rosas Pandan is only one of the more than 200 original compositions of my father, and at least 110 of his songs had already been published by recording companies from Manila and Cebu since the 1950s

But he died a poor man because, like the other Cebuano composers, he, too, was a victim of injustice
