Kundiman (English spelling)

Japanese: クンディマン(英語表記)kundiman
Kundiman (English spelling)
This is a love song of the Tagalog people who live in central Luzon, Philippines. In the past, it was dedicated by a man to a woman during courtship. It is said to have been called kundiman because the lyrics usually begin with kung hindi man (I am a humble man). It is characterized by a sentimental melody with a sad feeling in it, in 3/4 time and minor key. It flourished for about half a century from 1880 to 1930, and it is said that soldiers especially liked to sing the kundiman called "Joselina of the Baliwag" during the Philippine Revolution.
