The slow revolution of Cebuano music has elevated itself to become one of the most celebrated genres of today. Actually, through the years, I’ve been hearing songs from notable Cebuano singers/composers such as Max Surban and Yoyoy Villame and they do have talents as well as skills into making their songs match their personalities. And the melodies are contagious too. They do it naturally and it sticks to the minds of the people who have heard it. And lucky me, I do hear those kind of songs ever since I opened my eyes the first time.

Today, the modern Cebuano music, or popularly known as bisrock, has encouraged several Cebuanos to give the Cebuano language the full-blast back into the music scene. Especially for the young minds, this is an opportunity to contribute what they have to the vast world of music and not just simply do “cover songs” to boost their status to the higher rankings. Now all they have to do is to put their minds to the extent into making original Cebuano compositions that unfolds the discovery of creativeness that are dwelling inside the minds of every Cebuano.

Bisrock, is short for “bisaya na rock”. “Bisaya” is the Cebuano term for Cebuano language and this has proved to become the ultimate name for the new genre, that is, modern Cebuano music. Talented individuals have provided their own compositions and have notched up to be heard by everybody on the radio waves and especially to the whole world. This goes to show that Cebuanos are in for the ride and not to be left over. After all, the local scene has geared towards the unfolding of the new generation and bisrock is one of them.
