'Di Pangkaraniwan by Musikang Bayan

Sa Duyan ng Digma (Cover ft. Romina Marcaida)

D'yandi is a song composed and performed by Edge Uyanguren in 2001. It was released as part of Tunog Bobongan Music album in 2015 and Igpaw Mindanao Album of Musikang Bayan iin that same year. It became the anthem of the 2015 Manilakbayan. 

Historically, D'yandi is a peace pact among members of the Indigenous Peoples. Its meaning has evolved through the years and is now used as a form of solidarity and resistance of Lumads against plunder and large scale mining operations in Mindanao.

Dyandi

Two years (and counting) into Pres. Rodrigo Duterte's term, attacks against the civil, political, economic, and sovereign rights of the Filipino people continue unabated.

These are perpetrated by the very President entrusted with the protection of these rights. After securing a 2016 election victory on the strength of campaign promises to rid the country of illegal drugs and corruption and to push for genuine social justice and social change, Duterte has instead left a trail of broken vows and unmitigated dictatorial acts that only showcased his contempt and disregard for civil liberties and human rights.

The "Magliliyab" initiative started in July of 2018 as a collective response from members of the Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP). Supporting the call to Stop The Attacks, “Magliliyab” is a collaborative piece that debuted as the live soundtrack to the burning of Pres. Duterte’s effigy at the United People’s SONA on July 23, 2018.

The "Magliliyab" launch concides with the start of formal proceedings of the International Peoples' Tribunal PH (IPT) on September 17, 2018 now in Brussels, Belgium. The IPT charges Pres. Duterte and US Pres. Donald Trump and transnational institutions of various Crimes Against the Filipino People.

"Magliliyab" isn't just a creative response against both foreign and domestic attacks being endured by the people under the current administration. It is an indictment and a call to action for all concerned citizens, fellow Filipinos, and members of the international community to help resist, prevent, and fight the coming of yet another full-blown, fascist dictatorship in the Philippines.

Tagumpay Ay Isinusulong (Raw)

PESANTE (Single) 🌾
Music and Lyrics: Khryss Arañas
Arranged and mastered by Pordalab and Musika Publiko

OUT ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS

"Pesante" is a song written by Khryss Arañas last October 2018 for the celebration of the Peasant Month. The song expresses the current condition of Filipino farmers suffering under our semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Since the day it was written, "Pesante" has been performed in various mass demonstrations, cultural activities, gatherings, and other activities that advocate for peasants' rights.

Filipino farmers are facing great a crisis due to their economic and political standing. Under the current administration, 242 farmers have been killed. In Bicol, KARAPATAN-Bicol has recorded 63 Bicolanos as victims of extrajudicial killings, 34 of which are farmers. The intensifying military presence in Bicol under Memorandum Order 32 contributes to the continuous killings perpetuated by the current regime. 

Our farmers are being killed not just by bullets but also of hunger. The passage of the Rice Liberalization Law by Cynthia Villar has paved the way for more farmer's landlessness due to farmers being forced to sell what little land they have to alleviate the effects of retarded economic system and anti-poor government policies.

Almost a year after the song was made, raw guitar stem and vocals were finally recorded thanks to Hanina Britanico. It was enhanced, mastered, and arranged by Pordalab and Musika Publiko.

Kontradiksyon

Sumibol sa isang panahong marahas
Bawat pagsubok ay iyong hinarap
At hangga't laya'y di pa nakakamtan
Buhay mo'y aking laan



Namumukadkad at puno ng sigla
Tulad mo'y rosas sa hardin ng digma
At di maiwasan sa iyo ay humanga
Ang tulad kong mandirigma


Ako'y nangangarap na ika'y makasama
Taglay ang pangakong iingatan kita
Ang gandang mong nahubog sa piling ng masa
Hinding-hindi kukupas, di malalanta


Ang kulay mong angkin, singtingkad ng dugo
Nagbibigay-buhay sa bawat puso
Tinik mo'y sagisag ng tapang at giting
Sa laranga'y kislap ng bituin


Ako'y nangangarap na ika'y makasama
Taglay ang pangakong iingatan kita
Ang gandang mong nahubog sa piling ng masa
Hinding-hindi kukupas, di malalanta



Ako'y nangangarap na ika'y makasama
Taglay ang pangakong iingatan kita
Ang gandang mong nahubog sa piling ng masa
Hinding-hindi kukupas, di malalanta


Gaya ng pag-ibig na alay ko, sinta
