Pianist Bong Peñera, who has left amazing works as a pronoun of Filipino bossa nova. This one is Now Batukada's only album in 1977, composed of members who acted as Bong Peñera's backing band and were strongly influenced by Brazil and bossa nova. It's simply superb total 8 tracks featuring twisted arrangements, neat performance forms, and electric pianos and synths sounds. Recommend to start "Aliw" and "Sa Iyo Ang Araw, Sa Akin Ang Gabi". Astonishment!
フィリピン・ボサノヴァの代名詞として素晴らしい作品を残しているピアニストBong Peñera。その彼のバックバンドを務めブラジルとボサノヴァに強く影響を受けていたメンバーで構成され、ソロでも良作を残すBoy Katindigも参加したNow Batukadaの77年の唯一作。超極上と言っていい捻りの効いたアレンジメント、端正な演奏フォーム、エレピとシンセを大々的にフィーチャーしたボサノヴァ/ジャズ全8曲。まず”Aliw”や”Sa Iyo Ang Araw, Sa Akin Ang Gabi”からどうぞ。志向の音空間が広がっています。
