PAGKAMATAY NI ISAGANI (Death of Isagani)
This is the story of Isagani, a fisherman-by-day and spy-by-night during the time of the Philippine Revolution. The song finds him being pursued by the Spanish soldiers through the jungles of Cavite province after a failed mission.
Isagani was racing to escape to the ocean and rendezvous with his love Candida but he was shot just before reaching the cliff. He falls to his death into the waters.
Legend has it that he was revived by ‘syokoys’ - humanoid sea creatures whom Isagani once saved when they were trapped by fishing nets. As he became one of them, the memory of Candida and his former life fades.
Always best experience on headphones!

“I would say that the music is the result of my admiration of Stephen Sondheim and Led Zeppelin, plus traditional Filipino music with a dash of flamenco." says Florante C. Aguilar of his world premiere of ASWANG starting 01.28.18 at Napa Valley College Performing Arts. [theaterNapaValley.org]
