I just read that two musicians just passed away within one day. And they're musicians who have helped define their respective genres in the Philippines.
First, there's Karl Roy, who was the lead singer of P.O.T. I remember listening to his songs in UP when I was in college. Because of his stance and attitude, he looked like a young Pepe Smith. His song, "Yugyugan na," is still very much heard on the airwaves until now. (Even if it was first played almost 20 years ago.)
Then, there's Bodjie Dasig, who's THE Bodjie in "Bodjie's Law of Gravity." His music was more mellow, relaxed and romantic. His voice was very "feel good," and is reminiscent of 90s OPM. One of his biggest hits was "Sana Dalawa ang Puso ko," but I still prefer his rendition of "Ale."
They may have moved on, but their music will stay with us. So, thank you for the music. *cue ABBA here.
