Bituin Escalante - Mutya Ng Pasig (live) | | camcorded by Jonathan Ang aka Dr. Jones

Bituin Escalante, one of Philippine Theater's most versatile singer-actresses, performs the Nicanor Abelardo classic kundiman MUTYA NG PASIG (incomplete version) – accompanied by the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) under the baton of Maestro Herminigildo Ranera – at a free concert in Cavite! The vocal performance by the said diva is just one of the many musical numbers that delighted the audience at the STRIKE Gymnasium, Bacoor City, Cavite, Philippines on Monday, 1 August 2022. #NicanorAbelardo #BituinEscalante #MutyaNgPasig Videographer: Dr. J Camera used: Canon digicam TRIVIA: The Mutya Ng Pasig folklore inspired kundiman composer Nicanor Abelardo to create the classical music poetry Mutya Ng Pasig which tells about the sad fate of a woman who appears in the Pasig River during the full moon. The song was written in 1926 and was inspired by the Kumintang, a traditional song from Batangas, a province in the Philippines, with Malayan rhythmic patterns. The song will forever live on in the subconscious of Pasig natives on account of its haunting lyrics and melody, and the effervescent romance between the city folks and the river. ***** PRESS RELEASE FROM THE BACOOR CITY TOURISM COUNCIL (as copy-pasted): 𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐓 @ 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 Sa bisa ng Proclamation No. 939 s. 2020, bahagi ng tungkulin ng Lungsod ng Bacoor bilang Marching Band Capital of the Philippines ang linangin at payabungin ang kamalayan ng buong bansa sa pagmumusiko.
