BULYAW MARIGUEN IS...

a game (karawat)...
bulyaw mariguen is the cuyono version of the game HIDE and SEEK. It was popular in the little island of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines during the time that electricity in CUYO was only supplied from 6 in the morning to 12 midnight (1990S). Children, then, loved playing Bulyaw Mariguen in the wild (mariguen) guided by the light of the moon.

Eventually, with the advent of technology, Bulyaw Mariguen disappeared in the vocabulary of young Cuyonons. This is the reason why BULYAW MARIGUEN (the band) chose this name. To them, this game is a symbol of Cuyonon culture that must be revived or at least made known to the young Cuyonons.




a band (banda)...
bulyaw mariguen is a band composed of 4 Cuyono musicians coming from different generations and different professions. Due to their desire to express themselves in music that makes use of their own Cuyono language, of creating music that they can call their own and that young Cuyonons can enjoy and relate to and their vision of having Cuyono music diversify (from folk to different genres)and contribute to its development, the 4 musicians below formed Bulyaw Mariguen.
