MEANING & HISTORY

What does Vidala mean?

In the Spanish of Bolivia and Argentina, vidala names a slow, melancholy musical composition, sung in two voices with drum or guitar accompaniment. This is the exact word sense recorded by ASALE, not a guessed feminine form of Vidal.

The Philippine name form has its own independent documentary record. The musical reading is presented in its regional language context; it does not identify the source of every family’s naming choice.
