Even Music has Endangered Species

Classical Musicians (Photo Credit: Cinemax2)

    February 3, 2011— 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. That was the best moment of my day. We watched a guitar concert at the Marcelo B. Fernan press conference.  There were a lot of performers, however; the concert was focused on the two main classical guitarists from Japan, Tomonori Arai and Gen Matsuda. At the beginning of the concert, Mr. Viking Logarta (one of the main organizers of the concert) cited in his speech that:…

Balik-Tanaw: Ang Huling Album ni FRANCIS MAGALONA

In Love and War CD cover

“Isa kang Batang Nineties kung nalungkot at natuwa ka sa ‘In Love and War’ album nina Ely at Francism.” Ang album na ginawa ng dalawa sa mga icons ng Dekada NoBenta ay magdadalawang taon na sa susunod na buwan. Marami ang natuwa dahil muling narinig ng mga Pinoy at ng buong mundo ang himig ng yumaong Master Rapper. Ganunpaman, marami rin ang nalungkot dahil ito ang nagpapaalala na iniwan na tayo ni Francis M. Bilang…

Remembering Fete dela Musique

Fete dela Musique

It’s almost end of Summer, how time flies. Most of the people i know could remember Fete de la Musique. Those unfortunate ones does not. The last music festival, as aptly called, was held 2 years ago. Now if most people have noticed, most of the festivals for the music has been moved down south. Has there been a conspiracy behind this? Rock or the music festival are gone just like the others (radio stations and…

Music is My Life, The Lyrics are My Story

Without music, life would be a mistake. -Friedrich Nietzsche Everybody loves music, who doesn’t? Rock, alternative, opm, pop, punk, blues, reggae, metal, you name it. Even as a kid, I clearly remember the first riff, the first beat I heard, the first catchy song I liked. The way I try to sing to it though I don’t understand the lyrics. Somehow,with each of the song I hear, there’s a part of me that can relate to it.…

Balik-Tanaw: Remembering KURT COBAIN (February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994)

cobain

KURT DONALD COBAIN (February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994) “Isa kang Batang Nineties kung naki-headbang ka sa tugtugan ng Nirvana.” Kung magbibigay ako ng isang salita para tukuyin Dekada NoBenta, ang maiisip ko ay ang “Generation X”. Tinatawag ding “13th Generation”, ito ay ang mga taong ipinanganak mula 1961 to 1981 na iniuugnay sa administrasyon nina Ronald Reagan at George H.W. Bush ni Uncle Sam. Ang paniniwalang-politikal ng ating dekada ay apektado ng mga…

Love Songs That I Enjoy All By Myself

love songs

The pitter-patter of the falling rain  had set me on a melancholy mood. Moments like this make me yearn for the days when I can snuggle up to the one I love. As the radio plays the beautiful melodies, I started to sing along. Then the mood is broken. The reality is, that loved one had gone away, and the pain is just a distant memory. Thankfully, I had emerged from the storm of life…

ODE OF THE DANCING FIRE DRAGON

me

I could still feel the warmth of the music my aunt made every time she played the piano in our house in Malolos. I would just dance and dance until I got tired as I felt the music into my bones, into my heart, into my soul. I was just around five or six years old then but the memory is still alive that it was just almost yesterday when that thing happened. Music soothes…

Balik-Tanaw: Nasaksihan Mo Ba ang Unang Pagsulpot ng mga PIRATED CDs Noong 90′s?

contagion

Noong ako ay bata pa, naabutan ko sa aking mga tito at mga tita ang mga pekeng cassette tapes ng mga paborito nilang banda at mang-aawit. Malaki ang kaibahan ng mga ito sa original dahil bukod sa pangit nitong itsura ay pangit din ang tunog nito. “Maalon” ang pagkakakopya. Karamihan ng mga Pinoy noon ay mas pipiliing bumili ng peke dahil ang presyo nito ay nasa kalahati kumpara sa tunay. Ang iba naman, mas pipilling…

Singing is My Passion

woman-singing-microphone-vintage-525

A professor once asked me, “Is Singing your passion?” then I did not say anything. I just smiled. Mainly because I wasn’t sure then if it’s really my passion. I was in my 2nd year when I won in the singing competition in our school’s foundation day celebration. Few days after that event, I was asked to join the Singers guild and when I was already in my 4th year, I became the song captain…
