gary granada's final album

-


in his own words:
50 years old na po ako, 33 years nang musikero, di pa rin naging rock star. Panahon nang maghagilap ng bagong career.

Yamang ito na po ang huli kong album, hayaan nyong samantalahin ko na ang pagkakataon para magpasalamat sa aking mga ilang dosena ring mga fans. Bilang ganti, nangako ako sa sarili ko na gumawa ng munting “graduation” album na ubod nang ganda hehe, at nang sa ganun mapamanahan ko mang lang kayo ng harinawa’y kasisiyahan ninyo nang matagal. Para naman sa mga bagong biktima na ngayon pa lang ako nakadaupalad, at magustuhan ang album na ito, marami pa po akong mga albums na nakatitiyak akong kagigiliwan nyo rin hehe.

Suggest ko pala:

Gary Granada Live
Saranggola sa Ulan
Sino ka ba Jose Rizal, A Musical
LEAN, A Filipino Musical
Invitation to a Chapel Wedding
Children's Songs for Peace Education

Sa album na ito ay may isang kantang anthem ng isang maliit na bayan. Laking tuwa ko at pasalamat sa pagkakataong ito. Baka nga ito na lang muna ang kontribusyon ko sa daigdig ng musika, tagagawa ng mga anthems ng mga munisipyo, eskwelahan atbp. Higit sa lahat, pasasalamat sa Poong Maylikha sa napakagarang regalo niya sa akin. Sulit na sulit ang buhay ko, lalo na sa pagsusulat ng mga kanta na walang nagdidikta.


gary granada's "graduation" album, basurero ng luneta, is available as a free download at his site.

there's also an interview @ inquirer.net.

    Of all the albums of Gary Granada, I only have "LEAN, A Filipino Musical." I watched the play when I was in my freshman year at Diliman and was really blown away by the powerful music and libretto. Not to mention that these were performed by the rockstars of the '90s so it was really something...

    Although "Mabuti Pa Sila" (1998 Metropop Song Festival Grand Prize Winner) is my favorite song among the ones that Gary has written. It's a "lovesong" that has a bit of social relevance because of that one line he used: "Mabuti pa ang galunggong nasasabihan ng 'mahal'" :p

    @Macoy - ako si Cookie Chua ang pinunta ko :p

    Although hinde ko alam na ganun karaming pinoy artists/musicians (well, LAHAT 'ata sila) ang gaganap sa play; akala ko 'yung sa music lang sila, hinde pala...

read the first two chapters of "ang panday"

the pinoy superheroes universe blog marked FPJ's sixth death anniversary by featuring the character many of us associate with him the most: ang panday. among the tidbits and video clips presented by aris panganiban is a link to the first two chapters of the 70's komiks series. here's page one: in these first two chapters, flavio is really just a small-town do-gooder rather than a fantasy world messiah. all he does is beat up a trio of local thugs and tie them to a tree for the constabulary to find. no magic swords, no manananggal nor sand ninjas, no max alvarado. his weapon or choice is a sledgehammer and his catchphrase is "tinutuwid ang matitigas na bakal!" fourteen chapters later , he's recovering from some mishap at some mansion. still no sword n' sorcery to be seen, but he does engage in some alarmingly freudian tag-team tree-chopping with a man who knows his "secret".
