IT’S OUR TURN (Literally In English For KAMI nAPO MUNA)
(September 19, 2006) Apo Hiking Society has been in the Philippine music industry for decades now. They have quite a number of very good songs. The band is a legend.
To celebrate the band‘s 30th anniversary in the industry, some of the Philippines finest bands come up with a tribute album for them. The Kami nAPO Muna.
Before I got a copy of the CD, I have been seeing these bands (who were in the tribute album) performing their APO songs in the CD in some Philippine television programs. I must say that I then got excited in getting this CD.
Pumapatak Na Naman Ang Ulan has quite some funny lines just ike any other APO songs. And Parokya Ni Edgar‘s version is even more comical for me. I don’t know why but it must be the lead vocal Chito! Kamikaze’s Doo Bidoo and Sponge Cola’s Nakapagtataka are I think better to listen to if they are doing it live. I just don’t kinda like their versions in the CD.
Drip’s Kabilugan Ng Buwan, Imago’s Ewan, Moonstar 88’s Panalangin, and Kitchie Nadal’s Pag-ibig are my most, most favorite. These female lead vocaled bands did so great with these songs. I listen to these songs almost everyday in the car, before I go to sleep, and while I’m getting ready for work. And it will take some time before I get tired of listening to these songs.
I strongly have to suggest that every Filipino buy this album. Because if they don’t, they are just missing so much good stuff. I have heard that the first week that the album was released, it already went platinum. So isn’t that a decent enough hint!
