Pinoy Pride: Katutubong tunog ng rondalla: Pamana ng musikang Pilipino

Malalim ang pinagmulan ng tunog ng tradisyonal na musikang rondalla ng mga Pilipino. Dinala ng mga Kastila sa Pilipinas nang sakupin nila ang bansa noong kalagitnaan ng 1520. Binago ang tunog at ang mga instrumento upang maging tunay na Pilipino tulad ng banduria, lulay, octavina at iba pa.

Dumarayo sa iba't ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas at ibang bansa, buong pagmamalaking itinatampok ng grupong De La Salle Zobel Rondalla ang tunog ng rondalla sa bawat pagtatanghal at kompetisyon na kanilang sinasalihan.

"We are able to promote our culture and music, for people to see where our sound comes from, how unique it is, and people are mostly surprised since they only hear orchestra, or band, and our rondalla is very unique because we use string instruments," bigay-diin ni Lyon Libunao, pangulo ng DLSZ Rondalla na nanalo ng Gold Award sa nagdaang 33rd Australian International Music Festival noong Hulyo 2025.
