Coritha, Sampaguita and the rest of Filipino folk/rock musicians.


A lot of fans have been asking where is Coritha? Is she going to make music like she used to? Coritha singer/songwriter,the voice behind the popular hit songs like, Si Lolo Jose who is based on the life of real Lolo Jose, Sierra Madre, Oras Na, just to name a few.
How about Sampaguita the queen of Rock & Roll? Fans are hungry to hear the sounds and music that became part of their lives.
Nonoy Pillora Jr. the barritone voice of Grupong ASIN. It's been years that we didn't hear any news from him after Cesar "Saro" Banares died. Although , Lolita Carbon and Pendong Aban still active making music.But Nonoy has just faded in the limelight. The faithful fans are hoping that someday they will be together again and continue to write and make music.
Until now, like the rest of our very own Pinoy Musikero they are still inspiring a lot of Filipinos all over the world. What surprised me is the young generations who learned to appreciate this kind of music, not only the sounds but the message of the song.
I am not a good writer, I am trying to make this as simple as my mind and heart dictates. I want to share this with all Pinoy fans that these great musicians are still making music, live and breath music in different ways with their own perspective.

I gathered some of these links and official websites for all the fans of Filipino Classic Pinoy Folk/Rock Music. (I couldn't find any links or info for Resty Fabunan, Maria Cafra or Florante.) Ipagpatuloy po natin ang pagtangkilik sa sariling Musika.

'YAN ANG PILIPINO

Note: I wrote this as I was inspired while traveling from different countries. Given a chance that we are indeed good and full of talents, that poverty is not a hindrance.

Sa aking paglalakbay.
Sa Iba't ibang sulok ng mundo
Iba't ibang tao ang nakikilala ko
Nakikita ko ang kaibahan nating Pilipino

Kahit anong trabaho ay sinasabak
Kahit anong hirap ay hinaharap
Pag nagka-ipon ipon
Ugaling Pilipino ay iyong mahahanap

Tawanan, Kuwentuhan
Malimutan na ang problema
Kahit anong tribu, basta Pilipino
Tsismisan, kumustahan
Kahit hindi magkakilala
Kahit saang bansa
'Yan ang Pilipino, 'Yan ang Pilipino

Pagdating sa musika
Tayo ang nagunguna
Amerika,Europa ,Gitnang Silangan, Asya at iba pa
(Ang) Pilipino ay iyong makikita

Tayo ay mayroong angking talino
Kahit anong laro hindi sumusuko
Kahit saang dako hindi patatalo
'Yan ang Pilipino, 'Yan ang Pilipino


Kahit gaano kabigat ang dinadala
Makuha pa ring tumawa at makisaya
Basta't magkasama, kahit hindi magkakilala
Basta't magkasama, kahit hindi magkapamilya
'Yan ang Pilipino, hindi maipagkaila

Pag may nangangailangan
Kahit nasa malayo tayo'y maaasahan
'Yan ang bayanihan
"Yan ang Pilipino, kahit saan
