Nice to know:
April 30, 1910 - April 2, 2002
He was named National Artist for Music because of his contributions... count them, more than 4,000 songs!
Guinness Book of World Records recognized him as the only leaf-player in the world. Er, that sounded strange. It means that he was the only person who could play music using a leaf. You know, those green things from plants.
He was buried with full military honors at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Rightfully so.
What they say:
Levi Celerio was famous for his unusual leaf music, but I didn't know that he wrote the immortal classics like Pasko na Naman, Ang Pasko ay Sumapit, Ang Pipit, and a whole bunch of other songs that even our great grandchildren will still be singing.
This blog's ultimate goal is to accumulate “7107 Reasons to Love Pinas”... with all your help, of course!
