HARANA “serenade” - a traditional form of courtship in the Philippines, in which a man woos a woman by singing underneath her window at night.
Have you ever been serenaded by a Cebuano with his guitar? The Cebuanos’ flair for playing the guitar springs from their long-been-around guitar making industry. Aside from the province’s world-famous dried mangoes and lechon, Cebu guitars are equally as popular for their craftmanship.
After the Conference, let us take a quick trip to Lapu-lapu City and see how Cebuano guitar makers work hard and invest their skills into each piece, Cebu guitars definitely reflect the dedication and passion of Cebuanos, which makes the industry steadfast in the global market. These guitars and other stringed instruments are the testaments of Cebuanos’ innate relationship with music, incredible craftmanship, and Filipino culture.
You know what? Cebu guitars are more than just a souvenir - Make everyday Valentines day and use it to play a romantic music and sweep someone of their feet.
Mang Harana ta bai!
