21. Synthesis
The devotional and liturgical music of the
Lowlands of Luzon reflects the impact of the
Spanish colonisation which lasted for almost more
than three centuries on their lives, most especially
on the faith aspect. A lot of these are at the verge of
disappearing due to modernization and diversity of
religion. However, efforts from the youth and
education sector are joining forces in reviving long
lost traditions, if not in the most traditional way, at
least, the remnants of the Hispanic-influenced
music survive as they transform into its modern
versions.
