NOTE:

Reissue of the 1977 Bong Peñera classic. Bong is a prominent jazz and bossa nova musician in the Philippines active during the 70’s. He is reknowned for his mix of Brazilian Jazz and Filipino Kundiman as highlighted in his most celebrated work ”Batucada sa Calesa” — an album discernably foreign yet at the same time encompasses a dimension of Filipino sentimentality.

Bong’s music serves as a reminder that Filipino jazz was a thing back then and it’s definitely not the kind of stuff that you hear today in OPM ”pop” scene.
