BARBIE ALMALBIS

       BARBIE ALMALBIS

During my high school days, I started to be a fan of the band "BARBIES CRADLE" I was influenced by my older brother to listen to their music. "A pop rock alternative band" from Philippines.

These days I still listen to their music and every time I listen it really caused me nostalgia. I could remember my highschool life when I hear or listen to their song. I really wanted to attend their concert but unfortunately I wasn't able to attend even once. Because they seldom have a concert here in Cebu but I am still hoping that one day I will be able to. SOMEDAY!

As Barbie singing her heart out and play her guitar at the concert. I really Admire her guitar playing skill and angelic voice. She is one of my favorite female artist in the Philippines. I wish have a talent like she has. I guess I need to practice my guitar playing skill so that I will become good in playing it.

  The band that had contributed a lot in OPM scene. They have many hit songs in the Philippines such as Huling El Bimbo, Alapaap. and my all time favorite song With a smile. This band is considered as one of the most successful bands in the philippines. They won numerous awards. Their songs are really catchy to every Filipino youth due to its lyrics. It conveys a typical social issues in the Philippine pop culture. I have been a fan of them for more than a decade already, their songs are immortal. They are one of the foundation in Philippine pop rock music. They are very influential! 

     

    KUMAPIT KA TAYO AY LALARGA NA!

1. The line I used as a caption of this photo is a line from their song "Alapaap" in English "Skies" I really love it because the song denotes freedom. Just like the birds flying free, the song hit the OPM scene in the mid 90s. It is really a nice song, in my opinion, most of the youth back in those days know the song. Everytime I hear the song, I can't help but singing along to it.

              The ambassadors is one of my favorite Cebuano bands who managed to hit the crowd in manila and even guested at MYX (a filipino music program in channel 23) they won best performance in the MYX's segment Bandarito. I feel proud knowing that they won such award despite of many skillful bands who played. I attended numerous gigs of them and I was able to talk to their Vocalist (the one wearing white tees) he shared to me his inspirations behind the song he wrote and I was touched of it. They have been a band for more than a decade and still counting. I looking forward for their new album.

                 Greyhound is one of the most successful metal band in the Philippines. They have been a band for 17 years. I started to listen to them when i was a sixth grader. They're music is noisy yet it attracts me because of its guitar and drums technicality and the vocalist has the ability to scream. This band won numerous awards in their early years and still doing their stuffs up to now. They have a meaningful song, although their musicality does not attract the majority of the Filipino because it is kinda noisy. What also attracts me is their style of lyrics writing, it is really admirable because to its meaning and poetic structures. There songs deals with different aspect of life.

                                  
          Their Lead Guitarist "Audie Avenido" strikes a post as I saw him and asked to take him a picture during the SINULOG BLAST OFF 2013. I was happy at the moment I took it because he was so nice and had a short conversation with me. Sad to say I forgot to have a picture with him. Better Luck Next Time.

           One of the Cebu's pride, URBANDUB! this band really rocks! when I first heard their I song "Soul searching" I thought the band was a foreign band because of its quality and instruments and the vocal really sound like a foreign band playing. The band that has been  my idol for years. Every time when they have a gig in Cebu (regardless of the specific place in Cebu) I really feel excited to watch them and save money for the ticket (if their show isn't for free) One of the memorable moments i had in their show was when I had a chance to talk and took picture with them at Sinulog Blast off 2013.  

           They have been a band for many years and still they got the edge to rock on and catch the attention of their fans and listener. In one of their gigs that I attended, Gaby Alipe (The one wearing a long sleeve polo and their guitarist/vocalist) said thanks to all the people who supported and attended their band, he said that they would not be what they are now without the support and love by their fans. They never forget their hometown "Cebu" and that is something good about them. Despite of their success they still remain humble and thankful to God for giving them such opportunity in the mainstream.

           I really feel excited every time they will have another album to release and I listen to every single and they never fail to capture my taste in music.
