In spite the gloomy and starless night, my friends and I were able to witness 22 Tango Records 's 2nd leg as a part of their pop-up event series, FOLK CITY LOVE. Actually it was last February 5 when the music series started spreading love at The Walk, IT Park, but because of our busy schedule my friends and I only managed to push through the event yesterday.



     My friends and I do not share the same taste in music so I was very glad they agreed to go out with me and attend the event. Nevertheless, we had so much fun chillin' out with each other while enjoying the beautiful music.

More updates about the Folk City Love event HERE And wait! 22 Tango Records offered a Valentine playlist for free!!! Check it our here You're welcome :) "LOVE. We write songs about it. Sometimes painfully, sometimes not so. But for sure, we are consciously trying not to sound cheesy. And we try not to use the word “forever”. Yeah, we’re scared of that word. But, hey, we write about love." #chos!

I'm not an accredited music blogger or any of the kind but I wanted to share this wondrous and cool music I just heard last week in one of my busy nights editting our short film project. I was trolling around fb to kill time waiting for my downloads to finish when I caught a glimpse of an interesting post by one of my friends in fb. This friend of mine shared a link going to soundcloud ( a site in w/c you can freely upload your music). I've been to soundcloud before checking out music too and so what happened is I opened the link and VIOLA! my ear is tasting its candy-CATTSKI. >.<

         I don't really know much about her but when I checked out her page in fb, I've found out that she's also a Cebuana like me. I was a bit surprised since I am truly amazed with her voice that I thought what I'm hearing is a popular song abroad. She had a very nice diction and believe me, her voice is so powerful you'll catch yourself clicking the 'play' button again and again.
          I'm always a fan of Indie musicians in our country but most of them are from Manila. As what I'm saying I'm not fully aware of the very talented Cebuanos we have. After listening to almost all of CATTSKI's soundtracks in her soundcloud account, I feel much proud to pinned the FIlipino music in me. Her music makes me a much proud Cebuana too.
         Also, I've found out that she doesn't limit her talent in just singing songs, most of her songs are composed by her too. Her music never fail to sooth away my stress after a long day in school. I love all of her songs like the Secret Crush, Being Good, Me,50's etc. I always find them amusing but my favorite song from her is her newly release 'Monsters'. This song will gear up all its listeners to a new level of appreciating music to its fullest.

MONSTERS
