Awit Koy Dinggin - Ruben Tagalog (KUNDIMAN Classic AI Cover by JayR)

History and Background: “Awit Ko’y Dinggin” is a classic Filipino harana song, recognized as part of the danza-style tradition often featured in romantic scenes in Filipino films. While Ruben Tagalog is the most famous performer, he is not typically credited as the writer. The composer is primarily identified as T. Maiquez (Antonio Maiquez), though some sources also credit the music to Antonio Marquez, which may be a spelling variation. A karaoke catalog lists it as “Awit Ko’y Dinggin – T. Maiquez – L. Celerio,” indicating that Levi Celerio may have contributed the lyrics. The song was notably classified as “Traditional Kundiman or Harana”. Tagalog’s recording was released as a 78 RPM single on Peoples Records and included in the “Harana ni Ruben Tagalog” release by Villar Records. Therefore, the most reliable producers listed are Peoples Records for the earlier version and Villar Records International for the later cataloged release. However, the exact studio name is not well-documented online. This AI cover reimagines the song in a warm, cinematic studio setting with soft piano tones and emotional vocals that highlight the beauty of its message: unwavering love and Adoration.
