Bong Penera - A Samba Song No. 2 (1974)

VERY RARE!!! This is the album that started Latin Jazz and Bossa Nova in the Philippines! A SAMBA SONG is Bong Penera's debut album. A Samba Song -- as bright as the sunny weather of Manila, is one of the earliest compositions of Bong Penera with the Batucadas. This tune is further given an infectious flow with Brazilian guest Singer Maria Dulce Soares Da Silva singing it in her native language. Copyright is 1974 and produced by Penny Rose Production. 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. As you can see in this album. The girl who sings the Portuguese lyrics of the title tune is a Brazilian who goes by the name of Maria Dulce Soares de Silva, while Norma Ramirez does the English version. The fine supporting flute lines belong to Pete Canson. This is Bong Penera'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

Nu'ng panahon na marami ka pa'ng espasyong magagalawan sa Manila ... Isa ako'ng batang USTE tambay sa harap ng Arki. payosi-yosi du'n sa mga upuan sa me cafeteria do'n. Ok lang ang lahat sa mundo ... Lalu na pag lumalabas na yung hinihihintay ko : )
