Sarva Records

Sarva is a Sanskrit word which means "Everything". Sarva records may trace its roots to the Sarva Folkhouse owned and operated by Rene Mercado starting in 1975. Located in Mango Ave., in Cebu City, Sarva Folkhouse created the Folkhouse Industry in Cebu City while defining what a Folkhouse should be. Rene Mercado had envisioned Sarva to have everything that a customer could need but it was the Folkhouse which became wildly successful, attracting the best and the finest, the attractive and the beautiful.

Baby Boomers who lived in Cebu City at the time would surely remember Sarva with fondness. A few other folkhouses sprang up after it but Sarva Folkhouse reigned supreme while it lasted. Among those who frequented Sarva were Fermin Chio, Charlie Sy, Ben Roa, Pili Sison, Larry Vega, to name a few.
