Pilipinas, Tara Na! v.2
Ang ganda ng Pilipinas at galing ng Pilipino :)
“Wag maging dayuhan sa sarili mong bayan” - Gloc9
“Tara na byahe tayo, ng makatulong kahit paano..”
It’s rare to see amazing singers come together for a purpose.
I will forever be amazed on our local artists. Long live OPM :)
Pilipinas, mabuhay ka! :)
#OneStageOneNight featuring @keancipriano
Medyo weird ang gabing yon. Hindi ko talaga alam na si Kean ang main act. All along, I really thought it was a concert of different band members (Jay Durias and Raimund Marasigan among others). Kaya na-shock ako na merong camera crew doing interviews, asking “ano ang nagustuhan mo kay kean?” and “ano ang paborito mong kanta ni kean?” Hindi ko alam ang sagot, kaya todo iwas na lang.
Hindi ako fan ni Kean Cipriano, pero gusto ko ang Callalily at nagustuhan ko rin naman si Kean dati. Pero sabi nga nila, lahat ng bagay ay lumilipas.. I may not be a die hard fan but I can still say that Kean Cipriano has an amazing voice. For me, it’s impossible not to like a song pag sya ang kumanta. Ang ganda ng version nya ng “Let me be the one” at “Kailan”..
I might have enjoyed the show more if his audience knew the songs lined up that night. Yung tipong lahat ng tao kumakanta ng Tabing-Ilog, o nakikanta ng “Tuloy pa rin ako”.. Na-miss ko ng todo ang 90’s. But obviously, most of the crowd went there to see Kean and not to know the best of OPM. Sana lang naiparating nga sa kabataan na napakaganda ng classic OPM.
The best part of that concert for me, was when he sang “Stars”. Matagal ko ng pangarap na tumalon-talon habang kinakanta ng live ang kantang yun.
I miss you Sugarfree.. I miss you so much..
*Sugarfree soundtrip*
an unforgettable night.. a sad goodbye.. an end to one of the best OPM bands of our generation.
I’ve been meaning to write about Sugarfree last week, but can’t seem to bring myself into it. Until now, I’m still in denial. Ebe will not be leaving the band, he just can’t. But truth hurts sometimes, he is leaving. Sugarfree has been a part of my every get-away trips, from their first album up to their last. they say, Ebe is Sugarfree. I’m not sure about that though. I believe that Sugarfree will still live even after Ebe left.. but it will never be the same.. man, it will never be.
The other night, I turned on the radio.. and instantly,the distinct sound of Siakol filled the car. Sabi ko, “ayos! Namiss ko ‘to.” Hindi pa ako grade one, Siakol na ang tugtog sa box-type radio namin sa bahay, yung tipong assembled na may malalaking speakers! rakenrol.
Then Siakol’s Lakas Tama was followed by Eraserheads’ Ligaya. Solb na solb ang Huwebes ko! I even came to a point where I reminisced Eheads’ disbandment and how sad the song ‘Para sa Masa’ made me that day.
Maswerte ako kasi nabuhay ako sa panahon ng Siakol, Teeth at Eraserheads. Kasama ko sila while growing up.
Then I thought, is it just me? or talagang bibihira na ang mga magagandang kanta ngayon? Where have they gone? Why do songs always have to be about partying and sissies and shallow random things?
I love OPM, maraming magaling na talents ngayon.. pero sana, hindi lang marami.. sana lahat.
Finally a new album from PAROKYA NI EDGAR :)
The new single was released this week entitled “Pakiusap lang (lasingin nyo ako)”… The album will be released next week. *cant wait*
