By Marah Ruiz

Now that he is based in the United States, singer and comedian Nar Cabico makes an effort not to forget his Filipino roots.


He proudly shared a video of him singing the popular Cebuano song "Usahay" on his Instagram account.

Nar sang the song accompanied by his guitar. He even provided English translations of the verses in his video.

The song is one of his favorites because it was taught to him by his parents when he was younger.

Now, he wants to dedicate the song to his husband VJ Capule.

"Napakaraming magagandang awiting Bisaya at isa na dito ay ang paborito kong 'Usahay'.

"Tinuro ni Mama at Papa sa akin ito noong bata pa ako, at nakakatuwang ialay siya sa aking honey my lab so sweet.

"Tara, sariwain natin ang isang awiting nagpaligaya sa kanila noon," he wrote.
