harana and balitaw similarities
Answers
Answer:
Harana is a form of courtship during older times. This involves the man singing a love song to the girl he’s courting as she stares or listens by the window. The Harana is a serenade tradition in the Philippines in which young men may formally meet single lady visitors. It was widely practiced in Old Philippines with a set of protocols, a code of conduct, and a specific kind of music.
Balitaw is a type of folk song in Cebu, originated in the Visayan Islands, therefore making it a Visayan song as well. Balitaw is a poetic debate genre with courtship undertones. It is a form of dialogue or debate in song in which a man and woman compete in improvising romantic songs, where kumintang (kuomintang) is a tagalong “chant national”, describing them as a dance song performed by men and women, with texts concerning love and courtship. It was originally accompanied by a three-string-coconut shell guitar, but later a harp became more popular for accompaniment.
