Tambisan sa Sining, 2024

Audio files of Tambisan sa Sining for LABO*R: AN INVITATION TO ACTION… A BASIS FOR HOPE exhibition

HINDI KO PRESIDENTE compilation - The entries in the compilation combine audio samples of interviews and speeches of activists and mass leaders with music from music producers of Tambisan sa Sining. Hindi ko Presidente is Tambisan’s effort to educate, organize, and mobilize the cultural workers and the Filipino masses to frustrate the impending return of the Marcos clan to the highest seat of power in the Philippines.

Tambisan sa Sining songs:

Kung Patay na ang Kabayo (If the horse has died), exhibits a colloquial songwriting accompanied by the standard blues tradition. The title is from the Filipino idiom: Aanhin pa ang damo kung patay na ang kabayo (What use is the hay if the horse is dead?).
Kung Patay na ang Kabayo renders the general experience of the Filipino proletariat amidst the capitalist system. The persona laments his dismal outlook in life: inadequate wages against the rising cost of basic services and commodities has forced him into a debt cycle. He further reveals more details about the exploitative tendency of capital, mainly the consolidated effort of the capitalist to maximize profit margins by increasing productivity (unpaid overtime work, increased workload) and keeping the workers’ wages low.

"Ang sabi niya ay naroroon...sa Malakanyang."

Sampung Taon by Ericson Acosta

Once upon a time, I wrote music and played in Bellingham Washington--in the 90's coffee shops, or busking at the park. Then I joined a cult (whoops) and was kidnapped by a beast who ruined the album I was working on with white boy beat boxing to "surprise me." Surprise! It took me decades to afford the time and the equipment to start over again. Oh well. Every superhero needs an origin story, and that's mine.

I recorded these songs during FAWM 2025, intending to share them only with my grown children. But, you know, plans change. Here I am. Here this is. My words, pulled gaily (never straight) from Cerridwyn's Cauldron, flung into the wind like a spell. 

Let the Green Lady return and claim her kingdom.

My everything (pitch up)

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.

"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.

Rehas ng Silanganan - Sgimi [44H]

Lumalala ang krisis na ikinakaharap sa usaping agraryo at ang pinakaapektado mismo ang mga nagtatanim at nagbubungkal ng lupa, ang mga magsasaka. Habang lumalaban, maraming pinapatay, sinasamantala, hinaharas at tinatakot pero saksi ang kasaysayan kung paano nila pinagtatagumpayan. Hamon sa atin bilang mga petiburgis, na pag-aralan ang kalagayan, magpamulat sa mga isyus at kumilos dahil hindi nalalayo ang suliranin nila sa mga suliranin natin. Bilang pakikiisa sa laban ng magsasaka, hinahandog ko muli ang kantang ito sa kanila. 

Makisumaro sa mga paraoma!

Kung Puntod Na Ang Bukirin

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
