Initially this was supposed to come out on the HOUSE MASTERS FRANKIE KNUCKLES Compilation on Defected.
To make a long story short... it never did, I was given the blessing from Judy Weinstein (Def Mix Productions Founder) along with Hector Romero to do as I please with this version.
I did this with my keyboardist Erik Deutsch the day after I attended Frankie Knuckles funeral because I felt like I needed to do something not just in his honor but to continue to raise awareness of who this ICON is and undoubtedly none of us house heads should ever forget.
The whistle song is what introduced me to his music so it was only right that I created a version that captured the soul & beauty of the original BUT I wanted to give it more of a BALLAD feel, a version WE CAN ALL USE to close out a great party in his honor when we have them or simply to just hear at your restaurant, lounge, chill/comfort zone.

So ENJOY THIS FREE DOWNLOAD and please play it when and where ever you can no matter where you are.

This Is America (El. Train Edit)

Originally posted on March 3, 2008 on UpsetterSound.com’s Los Relics Radio curated by good friend filmmaker, DJ, musician, urban scholar, skater and family man Lakandiwa de Leon.  His call out to selector friends to make mixes to share for Los Relics allowed me to share my growing collection of Pinoy (Filipino) centric records.  Not a lot of venues I can play VST or Eva Eugenio, but I can always play Bataan or Barabas though. 

So, one restless night at 2am I started pulling records of varying styles, origins, languages and eras but all had one thing in common, all were made by Filipinos (full blooded or not) whether solo or part of the band.  Whether it was the Morales brothers as part of Spain’s psych-funk band Barabas or Afro-Filipino Joe Bataan from Spanish Harlem, beat music from the Rocky Fellers in the US or Jaime Salazar from Cebu, Philippine dream pop from Rey Valera or blissful 70’s pop from Apo Hiking Society and Cinderella, or from the Bay Area, soul wailer Sugar Pie DeSanto and ethno-funk heavies Dakila, all of them Pinoys and all make up this diasporic mixtape.

Two years after recording this rambling and rather technically flawed mix I have made it somewhat of a mission to help re-introduce Philippine popular music to an audience that would not normally seek them out as well as re-contextualize the music for people to appreciate and enjoy again or for the first time.  A tad grandiose, but I will attempt to, at least.

One funky track at a time if I have to! ;-)

Anyways, hope you check it out and share it with friends.

Arbolito divino, raíces profundos, abraza el mundo
Y nuestro camino, con tu medicina
Todas las plantas, las plantas divinas mari, mari ri ri ri ri

Yagesito curaca, de la selvacita, la pachamamita
Trae sabiduría a nuestra familia, trae alegría
La liana que guía, Capi capi capi capi capi

Ayahuasquita cura, cura mi cuerpo, con tu amorcito
Cura mi mente viejo doctorcito, cura mi gente
Poderoso abuelito, vovo vovo vovo vo vo

Trai nai nai con la vida, vida de la baila
Cura con la waira, limpia limpia taita vibrando con la walca
Con la madre selva, Taita curaca ara ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

Trai nai nai nai nai nai
Trai nai nai nai nai nai
Trai nai nai nai nai nai
Trai nai nai nai nai nai
Trai nai nai nai nai nai
Trai nai nai nai nai nai, nai nai, nai nai nai nai
