Florante Aguilar
Florante Aguilar is one of the most active figures in Philippine traditional music today. His arrangements and compositions reveal a deep understanding of the form, successfully crafting the right balance between respect and redefinition of a tradition.
His constant search for a tradition-based contemporary Filipino sound led him to champion harana music - songs used in the now-vanished Filipino courtship ritual of serenading. Aguilar's compositions, which use strong Philippine motifs in a modern context, include works for guitar, octavina, violincello, percussion, as well as song cycles and a zarzuela.
