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.
