Tipanan (2006)

$14.99 CD

Add CD to Cart iTunes

Album Info

Tipanan (Rendezvous) is a convergence of different musical styles from the Philippine islands. From the sublime to the rhythmically charged, harana (serenade) to tribal dance, this collection showcases the diversity of Philippine music along with its most trusted instrument. The influence of Spain, the assimilation of American pop, the staying power of the rural folk songs, and the exoticism of indigenous rhythms, yield a picturesque canvas of a culture like no other.


Musicians

Florante Aguilar, classical guitar
and octavina (track #11)

With special guest Michael Walsh, 2nd guitar on Nais Ko and Radyo Tipanan.

Instagram post 2158378931672997616_763743949 Frida’s piano teacher confirmed what I’ve always suspected - Frida has perfect pitch! She’d always sing songs she heard in the past in their original key. She even emulated the sound of a conch player in Hawaii a few days after she heard it - in the correct pitch! Some say it’s a curse and has no real meaning when it comes to musicality. But whatever, it’s still amazing to me. Happy 7th Birthday to my Frida Pida!

Instagram post 2065113658631759716_763743949 On June 12, 1898, in my home town of Kawit Cavite, General Emilio Aguinaldo and his government defiantly declared independence from Spain. This balcony is literally half a mile away from the house I grew up in. I’d often pass by it on my bike “sa makababa ng tulay” (near the bottom of the bridge) towards Poblacion where some of my classmates lived. It is now a national shrine and a park. Although there are many controversies about Aguinaldo and the deaths associated with his ascent to power, I am still kind of in awe that so many other revolutionaries aside from Aguinaldo, hailed from my home town - the likes of Macario Sakay and Andres Bonifacio. I am still and will always remain a proud Caviteño.

Instagram post 1951077658557439298_763743949 Wrote a piece for the #hangdrum (new toy!) as part of the new work #Utom. Will premiere this June 2019. This Instrument, invented in Switzerland in 2000, works surprisingly well with #kulintang and other Philippine indigenous instruments IMHO.
