wow enx. im confused bcoz rocketer's research say's the composer is unknown


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2499)  4 years ago

maybe its unknown to the majority but known to just few like his/her family maybe.. but definitely, there's somebody who wrote that one, not just popular as some composers do! and according to my google search, that one i mentioned in my previous response is the one who wrote it. not really a hundred percent sure 'bout it but that is just what i have found out through the net! lol

happyname sounds Italian, don't you think? Maybe he composed the melody and Filipinos adapted the melody with tagalog lyrics. Question is, who wrote the lyrics?happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. leizlmarie (2499)  4 years ago

isn't it the composer is the one who wrote the lyrics, right?! so if you're asking me the same question as merphius asked then i'll answer you back with the same answer as i mentioned in my first response and i would say again that's ACCORDING TO MY GOOGLE SEARCH! not hundred percent sure though!

but maybe you're right with your guess! i really don't know personally as i didn't bother to know it until this has been questioned here in myLot.. lol

Based on my research, nobody knows who really composed Bahay Kubo. It is a folk song passed on to generations of Filipinos and nobody can trace its origin. Here's what I got from National Bookstore's website:

Bahay Kubo is perhaps the best-known and best-loved folk song in the Philippines. Its composer is unknown. Its Tagalog lyrics have been passed down through the generations by way of the oral tradition.

The song's diatonic melody and waltz-like rhythm suggest European influences. The lyrics include plants which are not indigenous to the Philippines, such as peanut (mani), eggplant (talong) and mustard (mustasa). These foreign elements could mean that the folk song originated or evolved during colonial times.
