Bong Penera - Samba Madrugada (1974)

VERY RARE!!! Samba Madrugada is the 9th track of Bong Penera's "A SAMBA SONG" album. The album that started Latin Jazz and Bossa Nova in the Philippines! It is his debut album. Bong Penera is certainly an accomplished musician and one of the most gifted. He is of course many things too many people being a poet, playwright, essayist, professor, painter all rolled into one. He plays guitar quite well and is gifted with an intimate, sensitive and poetic singing voice. His band aptly called the "Batucada" is also unique by and in himself, Sonny Nabong plays bass, Nick Boogie, is on percussion and Ding Poblete is on drums. And all these guys swing and sway with the Brazillian spirit you think that were imported from Rio. The fine supporting flute lines belong to Pete Canson. This is Bong Pinera's first album (probably the first local jazz album) and he's naughty enough to pave packed only 10 songs. This album was released in 1974 and is truly a rare one. One of my priceless possession... Hope you like it? HAPPY LISTENING!!! :) - JC
