Lirio Vital

My Personal Favorite Pilipino Songs

 

Side A
Kung narito Ka Lang
Basta't Mahal Kita
Titingin-tingin
Dahil Sa Isang bulaklak
Kung Talagang Mahal Mo Ako
Ibigin, Mahalin

Side B
Nagsayaw Ang Lolo At Lola
Talusaling Polka
Sa Iyo Ang Araw, Sa Akin Ang Gabi
Sa Duyan Ng Pagmamahal
Ang Pag-ibig Ko'y Ingatan Mo
Di Ba't Ako Ay Tao ring May Damdamin

Bakit Ba?

 

Side A
Bakit Ba
Sa Iyo Lamang
Habang May Pangarap
Panaginip Lang Pala
Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas

Side B
Bansang Tinubuan
Bato Sa Buhangin
Nahan
Kahit Sandali
Di Na Maghahanap Kailan Pa Man

Side A
Simula Ngayon
Dahil Sa Iyo
Mahawi Man Ang Ulap
Habang Buhay
Kahit Na

Side B
Umiibig Sa Iyo
Ang Tangi Kong Pag-Ibig
Sana'y Maghintay Ang Walang Hanggan
Bukas
Tamang-Tama





Lirio Vital (Lirio Sebastian Lalata in real life) was born on February 8 in Manila but spent her growing years in Makati. Her screen name Vital came from the last name of her paternal grandmother. Her father, Victor Lalata had his roots from Pangasinan, while her mother, Feliciana Sebastian from Virac, Catanduanes lived most of her life in Manila.
Lirio finished high school at the Pio Del Pilar High School in Makati. She took a 2-year course in Communication Arts at the Philippine Women’s University. She was later on inspired to further her studies at the University of the Philippines Conservatory of Music, upon the advise of her mentor, Armida Siguion-Reyna.

As she matured, Lirio’s singing career started to blossom. She became a contract star of Alpha Record, which was also the same recording company that launched the singing career of Nora Aunor. Lirio made her first record, “Beautiful Love” with Alpha. A few years later, she joined Vicor Music Entertainment Company, a Black Record affiliate.
Her career peaked during the early 70’s. As that period was quite turbulent, the talents who were launched the same time she was did not survive the times. Among her contemporaries, Lirio was the only artist who survived the 70’s and who was able to move on towards other fields in the business. With Mina Aragon, Head of Vicor Music Entertainment as her manager, she was able to start a new recording career with Black Record.

Part of Lirio’s singing career was her participation in “Balik Saya” together with Bert “Tawa” Marcelo.” “Balik Saya”, was organized by Lilia Andolong as a project to promote Philippine Tourism under the leadership of Doroy Valencia. “Balik Saya” was an outreach program – aimed to reach out to the Filipino communities in the different parts of the world. They toured the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. She also belonged to the ASEAN Artist Exchange, where she represented the Philippines.
Lirio has performed with Larry Gibbs and Billy Preston, and a trio performance with Pilita Corrales and Carmen Soriano at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

  1. Thank you for your great efforts in bringing information about Lirio Vital whom I consider having one of the sweetest voices in the Philippine Music industry. I used o listen to her songs over the radio during the 70`s (way back my adolescence years).

    Kindly feature in the internet songs entitled "The Things We Did Last Summer" (originally performed by Frank Sinatra) and "I Love You More Than You Know (originally performed by Ricky Nelson) which Lirio Vital recorded also. Thanks.
