Susan Fuentes

Mga Awiting Walang Kupas

 

Side A
Bakas Ng Lumipas, Tangi Kong Pagibig, Sa Piling Mo
Lambingan, Minsan Lamang, Hindi Kita Malimot
Nasaan Ka Irog, Ikaw Rin
Arimunding-munding, ang Pipit, Sinisinta Kita, Ikaw ang Mahal Ko

Side B
Irog Ako ay Mahalin, Walang Kamatayan, Sapagkat Kami Ay Tao Lamang
Halina't Magsaya, Kung Nagsasayaw Kita, Tugtuginng Bukid, Sa Libis Ng Ngayon
Hinahanap Kita, Bulung-bulungan, Babalik Ka Rin
Tunay na Tunay, Panaligan Mo Sinta, Minamahal-Sinasamba

Susan Fuentes may no longer be known to many but she used to be big. As a singer, her sultry performance was noted for its “lusty vocals and emotional styling.”

It was she who, in the 1970s and ’80s, originally recorded and popularized such Visayan classics as “Matud Nila” (They Say), “Gimingaw Ako” (I Feel Lonesome), “Usahay” (Sometimes), “Rosas Pandan.” She is the original singer of that beloved season staple “Miss Kita Kung Christmas.”

The repertoire—ranging from Cebuano to Boholano to Ilonggo traditional airs and folk ditties—made her very popular in the Visayas and Mindanao and a novelty hit in Luzon. So popular were they that a few became theme songs for lovers who didn’t even speak the language. The poignancy was in the music, but more so if those lovers understood the lyrics, and then they would be unspeakable.

The range of Fuentes’ voice was such that she could effortlessly shift from the agony of “Gimingaw Ako” to the friskiness of “Rosas Pandan.” Here is another authentic voice that’s unheard by a new generation of listeners—and neglected by audiences as soon as they’re weaned on engineered voices of warblers who believe too much in their press releases.
