CORITHA - SIERRA MADRE

DID YOU KNOW (INFO FROM HER WEBSITE)
That Coritha was the first musical artist in the history of popular Pinoy music to experiment with Philippine native instruments in her music? Rondalla instruments such as the Banduria, Octavina and Laud were used in the songs "Awit Kay Leandro," "Bilanggo" and her biggest hit song "Oras Na." Although the singer-songwriter felt her experimentations were not as successful as she had wanted them to be due perhaps to the novel idea of trying to merge native instruments with standard western instruments, something unheard of during the resurgence of original Pilipino music, Coritha's pioneering efforts have enriched Pinoy music and kept Pinoy culture alive in the hearts and minds of many Filipinos.

- That Coritha was the first musical performer and recording artist to work with blind musicians utilizing their talents as banduria players for her live performances and recordings during the early part of her career? Ruben Mueco, Ramon Valentero and Catalino Lazo were three of the blind musicians who contributed their unique talents to Coritha's musical endeavors.

-that Coritha wrote and sung her mega hit song entitled "Sierra Madre" as her tribute to the Sierra Madre Mountains, the largest and longest mountain range in the Philippines? Aware of its geographical, historical and environmental significance, Coritha wanted the mountains immortalized in song in order to remind Filipinos of its great history and natural wonders. Today, Coritha's "Sierra Madre" is called the "migrant's song" and every Filipino's link to his or her native land.
that Coritha's roots are in the Sierra Madre mountains? Her lola (grandmother) and lola sa tuhod (great grandmother) are natives of Isabela, a province in northern luzon traversed by the majestic Sierra Madre mountains.
that Coritha's earlier guitars and bandurias were made by the guitar craftsmen of Lumanog - a music store located in Sta. Mesa? Always ready to help promote Filipino ingenuity and Filipino-made products, the singer-songwriter made sure the local guitars and native instruments would find their rightful place in the music industry. Of course, that was a long time ago and the original craftsmen are no longer around.

Nakatanggap ako ng sulat mula sa amin
Nakalarawan doon ang maraming kong alaala
At bigla akong lumuha dahil ako'y sabik na
Sa lalawigan kong minumutya

Naghihintay pa rin ang irog ko doon sa amin
Mga magulang nama'y nag-aalala sa akin
O, masilayan ko man lamang bundok, parang at batis
Gumagaan ang hirap ko at pasakit

Chorus:
Awitin ko, awitin ko'y makauwi na
Sa duyan ng aking kamusmusan
Sa piling mo, o, Sierra Madre
Kandungan mo'y laging hinahanap

Ano kaya ang gagawin ko ngayong wala nang
Natitirang pag-asa sa aking mga pangarap
Kaya't kung mayro'n mang nakikinig sa aking damdamin
Ay dalhin mo na ang awit ko sa amin

Chorus:
Awitin ko, awitin ko'y makauwi na
Sa duyan ng aking kamusmusan
Sa piling mo, o, Sierra Madre
Kandungan mo'y laging hinahanap

Coda:
Kandungan mo'y laging hinahanap [2x]
