Audio barangay is supposedly Bamboo the band's name. I just fetched this info from game ka na ba ages ago. Just remembered it when I saw Nathan's message in their new album, We Stand Alone Together. I guess Nates just described here the essence of the existence of Audio Barangay, or popularly Bamboo (band).

One of the songs covered by Bamboo in their 3rd album, We Stand Alone Together is Tatsulok, originally by Buklod. There's nothing really much of a difference between Bamboo's version from Buklod. Bamboo just enhanced the song rocking it with their instruments and his signature voice making it more powerful and inspiring.

When I first heard the song I said it was a bit of a leftist in nature. When I heard the original version, I remembered my org in college, LFS. These kinds of songs are being played by the org and yes it is patriotic in nature.

Some says that this song is just in time for the elections 2007, that there might be political motives behind this. But the only message that the band wants to reach out for the Filipinos, cliche as it may sound, is to Vote Wisely! Yeah, vote wisely folks! This is an opportunity for us to make a move in reversing the "tatsulok."

Here's the two versions of the song from Buklod and Bamboo:

Bamboo's third album, "We Stand Alone Together" will be out in stores today. whew! finally, the long wait is over. heheh (excited) The album is composed of revival songs from different artists, local and foreign. Their carrier single "Tatsulok" is an original from Buklod.

With the release of the band's new album comes their new website design. From black and red accent to black and orange. As what my friend, shella, said, "orange is the new red."

As our excitement has been overflowing (or rather overreacting) we saved the pictures by saving a screenshot of it since it is in flash. Little did we know that the photos are also in the gallery section. hahah that's what you call, "TRUE-BLOODED BELIEVERS."

One of the band's single for their third album, we stand alone together, is Probinsyana. Here's the video of their performance at unang hirit. .haaaay. .Bamboo you never fail to amaze me. :x

Who would expect this song from Bamboo? I hope he still loves the Probinsyana image

Probinsyana

Ang Probinsyana
ay d basta-basta
mhirap bolahin kailangan haranahin
ang kanyang lakad mabibighani ka

d biro, babaeng probinsyana
mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
pag napaibig, wala kang duda

sa umaga pisngi namumutla
pg nakasaya maaakit ka
ang kanyang lakad mabibighani ka

d biro, babaeng probinsyana
mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
pag napaibig, wala kang duda
probinsyana, probinsyana

aking diwata saan ka pumunta
lumuwas ng maynila, dala ng pangarap nya
ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
nasan na aking maria clara!

mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
pag napaibig, wala kang duda
probinsyana, probinsyana

We Stand Alone Together (by Bamboo)

. . .is the band's third album to be released on February 16, 2007. It's carrier single "Tatsulok" has been launched already and it is political in nature. I wonder what this album is all about. . patriotism? hmm, that's for us to find out!

Today is January 18 and, oh, I still have to wait for for almost a month (sigh). Hmm. . their album cover seems to be different than the previous two. Well, Bamboo is Bamboo and I know this album rocks!

Just for the record. . My header image is cropped from their poster for this album. heheh
