HOW TO LIVE A LIFE

It was a musical weekend for me. I got the copy of Sitti and UpDharmaDown's CD last friday before I went home to Angeles. Sitti, the new babe of Bossa Nova, with her new album,'Cafe Bossa', was as refreshing as her looks. She's not that excellent vocally compared to the older Bossa Nova artists but the new genre presented to Pinoy audience is enough to appreciate her music . Almost all her songs are covers from different foreign Bossa Nova artists and only one song is original and written in Tagalog entitled "Para sa Akin". I got interested to Sitti since I read the feature article last 2 weeks ago in Sunday Inquirer Magazine. She's a UP grad and lounge singer in a Hotel before she was discovered in MTV Supahstar, a singing contest.

The other CD is the UpDharmaDown album. I really like the techno-pop music they have and the African-European mixed voice of the vocalist. I really love their 1st single entitled "Pag-agos". Nice music and nice band, this is what UpDharmaDown is all about.

At sa aking pagkubli
Hampas ng araw pagdamdam ng gabi
Tulog ang iyong mga kamay
Di nako makapag antay

Isang umaga muling aahon
At sisikat sa mga panahon
Na tayong pang dalawa
Masayang pagsasama

Buong araw ng pag-agos
Kailan ang huling unos
Di alam kung tatakbo
Kusang lalayo sayo

Isang umaga muli ng pag-iisa
Walang mayakap at makasama
Pusong pilit na sinugatan
Landas kong karaniwan
