ORAS NA - CORITHA

http://pinoyclassicfolkrock.blogspot.com

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.

ORAS NA- THE MEANING COULD BE IN ANY SITUATION(MY ROUGH TRANSLATION)
IT'S TIME TO DECIDE WHERE TO GO AND WHAT YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE. IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE, FEAR IS ONLY IN OUR MINDS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ,DON'T HESITATE FOLLOW THE DICTATES OF YOUR HEART. THERE IS HOPE AHEAD OF YOU AND THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

Coritha's first album of love songs can be yours as soon as a record company releases it.

I used to listen to this song on the "Akai" cassette player of my Aunt when I was about 10 years old, now I am 35 and still the message haunts me. This song has a powerful message, Stand in the light, and you don't have to fear anything. I Miss my Younger Days, My Family and relatives, and My Hometown as it was before..... This brought back the memories and remain one of the best soundtrack of my Life..... Thanks for Posting..

I was just a small naughty boy when i first heard this soft touching song by her.Since then,this song became one of my most favorate song for all times and decades and will never fade

[siwawervintar]

I am amazed to learn that Coritha has her roots in Isabela. Likewise, I am reminded that Freddie Aguilar is from the Cagayan Valley where a great part of Sierra Madre lies. I wonder if Florante can also trace some of his roots in that region... Sierra Madre nurtured the "great names" in Philippine pop contry music.
