PHILIPPINES SONGS FOR FREEDOM

JUNE 12, 2008
110th Year Anniversary of
PHILIPPINE INDENPENDENCE DAY

HELLO EVERYONE!! It's my 101st BLOGPOST today and It's the 110th Year Anniversary of PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY.


Know about The Philippine Revolution and The Proclamation of Philippine Independence headed by EMILIO AGUINALDO.

Since It's PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY today, I've decided to feature a Philippine Compilation Cassette Tape entitled "PHILIPPINES SONGS FOR FREEDOM" recorded wayback 1984-1985 both here in MANILA and in GERMANY. Hmmmp!! So what's that tape? I consider this already a RARE MATERIAL so definitely it would spice up today's post. THANKS to MARIVIC aka. "billieredsocks" on the Multiply World I was able to obtain this very Patriotic Compilation Cassette Tape. I asked her if she would be willing to upload the whole material so that we could share it to you in this little Blog of mine......TAAARRAAAAH!!! HERE"S THE ENTIRE CASSETTE TAPE FOR YOU GUYS!! It features three Comtemporary Pinoy Music Activist JESS SANTIAGO, POL GALANG, and SUSAN FERNANDEZ-MAGNO. This was a fund-raising and advocacy project of one NGO during the late President Marcos' time. The audio quality is not so good, but these were popular songs of the protest/alternative music movement back then. YUP!! The 80s was a great decade for NEW WAVE/PUNK music here in MANILA, but of course we will not forget the POLITICAL CRISIS back then that have rocked the entire nation. There are two songs here namely, "Halina" and "Let Us Give The World To The Children", that have both German and Tagalog verses.
