woman’s anxieties over her loved one’s journey to foreign shores.
The painful longing, but full of promises for a better future, is evoked
deeply in the song. A mellow soft tune. I DO is a
sweet song by a loyal girlfriend, rendered by CLAUDINE
BARRETO. The song speaks of
an overwhelming gaiety of a young heart whose patience so unparalleled in
waiting for her lover finally pays off. This
is the only English song in the album. We feel the extreme desire of a melancholy
heart for a loved one in MAKAPAGHANAPBUHAY
LANG (Just To Have A Job) by NONOY
ZUNIGA. The interpreter
appreciated the piece so much, claiming the song was really well-thought of, a
product of both wit and emotion. This
is a pop-song with a shade of blues. The family takes centerpoint as a moral
booster in the song KABAYAN HUWAG MAG-ALALA (My Countryman Don’t Worry) by JUAN
RODRIGO. The nostalgic
feeling, quite universal in nature, is deeply etched in the song.
This song has a sweet jazzy tune. MIRIAM PANTIG gives
her OFW emotion in the ballad song MAAYOS
NA BUHAY (A Better Life) which rages over unspoken sufferings and
sacrifices. Amidst a hurting milieu, the realization of a dream is the
only thing that holds dear to someone to continue living a drab life. Over time takes ambivalent meanings in the
song O.T.
giddily interpreted by ALDOE
RUBEE. Here, the Filipino
sense of humor surfaces in times of trials.
This song has a rock and roll beat. Acculturation embraces a pedantic touch in
the song RAMADAN, brought to life by RICHARD VILLANUEVA.
The uninformed OFW is given caution to keep up with a Muslim tradition
and discipline, and to respect them. A
little fast tempo with combination of rap. One feels the echoes of a ghastly wind and
the rage of turbulent sea in the song DOON
(There) by CINDY ROSAS.
The swing dance rhythm of the song seems to sway with the rippling waters
on the shore. A song for the
seamen. JO AWAYAN and MIRIAM
PANTIG blend beautifully in PARA
SA INYO, OFW NG BUONG MUNDO (For All Of You, OFW Of The World), the
theme song of the album, a tribute to all the OFWs worldwide whose tool for
survival are brains, talents and physical power.
With upbeat tempo, a “come on” song for OFWs. KELLY GRACE SALCEDO and NONOY ZUNIGA move with passion and pride in demonstrating to all
and sundry the greatness of OFWs in the song DAKILA KA (You Are Great),
which these Filipino modern day heroes truly exemplify. Click here for Contacts (sales, distributions, etc)
