Carla Elektra with Her New Debut Single Entitled Feel Good
August 26, 2019
Techno music is usually diverse from those who value the other form of popular music.
According to Suade Bergemann,
"If you hear a piece of good techno music, and finds that you don't appreciate it. If you hear a piece of good techno music and finds it unappealing, probably it has something to do with how you listen and your expectations regarding musical value. It takes time to become familiar with listening and be able to make judgments about its musical qualities. It differs from other popular music."

Spank Master Boogie and His Album Museum
May 21, 2019
Spank Master Boogie's Debut Album called "Museum" - a unique and witty hip hop music!
When they gave me the task of writing about rock and roll music genre, I was uncertain. My kind of music is different from what was given to me, though. I was a bit nervous and even doubted myself if I can do it right. To know it, I accept it as a challenge. What I did is research a bit and listen to each song two to three times a day. By listening to each song lyrics and beat had helped me understand what this genre is all about. I'm so thankful for the opportunity given. Now, let's talk about hip hop!
The Remix Album of Ricardo del Rio
May 16, 2019
Music is the voice of your emotion and enthusiasm, as you eagerly express it through music. The power of music lifts a persons spirit through its attraction and power. According to Keith Richards,
Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.I agree to that saying because it makes me glide and move around while listening to the tempo. Actually, I'm listening to Ricardo del Rio's single For Here (South Beach Remix) featuring Elan Noelle and Omar Jefferson. Did I hear a beating? I love it! It makes me sway to the beat.
Trenched United in Rock Album
May 12, 2019
When the music starts, some people could not resist following the rhythm of the beat. Music plays a vital role in a person's life. In fact, it makes them cheerful, well and sound. Although each one has its own choice of music, still rock and roll are the best.
Rock and roll are a combination of different genre music rolled into one. It connects the people and the band with an adrenaline rush. The songs have their own phrases that are meaningful and compassion. The bands of the rock genre are excellent in catching different emotions of misery and wrath like in this new album "United in Rock" by Trenched.

An Electric Guitar with Tremolo
February 3, 2017
Sometimes, I need a "me" time away from the stress of life. So, I went to a mall and window shop. There, I saw a sea of electric guitars. It is the Bullet Stratocaster. It is easy, low-cost and yet, practical guitar for the beginners. To tell you, I am fond of electric guitar.
In case, you are wondering what on earth is tremolo. It is a quick repetition of one or two notes that moves back and forth with greater intervals. It sounds like a trembling or vibrating effect that makes the crowd thrilled and shout.

Listening to the Sound of a Guitar
February 1, 2017
My husband accompanied our son to school. I stayed home to clean up the mess in the morning and arranged the shop for internet users. That's my morning routine every school days.
Before I do anything, I make sure that my Spotify music is on. I love music in different categories, depending on my mood. Because it is the morning, I browse for a guitar music on a prs 7 string. It might be weird for some people. This type of music makes me jump to start my work.
Now that the music is on, I'll start cleaning. :)
Learn How To Play Guitar
November 2, 2016
Learning on how to play guitar is not that easy. It takes patience, focus, and attitude to learning each chord. You must start from the beginning. First, let us learn the basics.
Parts of the Guitar
No one will ask about the parts of the guitar. But, in my own opinion, it is important to know it. What if, someone will ask you to do it using that one word that defines a part of a guitar. At least you know and understand what that word means.
Learn the Chords
Others will teach you the chords while you strum the guitar. As for me, you have to know the chords first and take notes. Just in case you forgot, so, it'll be handy.

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)
May 15, 2016
If
you plan for a music recording studio, one of the main essential for musical
production is called DAW. So, what is DAW? A DAW is a Digital Audio Workstation,
a software or program to record, edit and produce songs or musical pieces. This
software program allows you to mix multiple audio clips and synchronize it
based on tempo and beat.
When
you're using a DAW, you can use audio effects and control it's changes. You can
simply removed prior effects from the audio clip. If you change the effects,
it's safe because the original audio file never changed but only the end result
of the sound in DAW.
Of
course, this program will not run until you have a DAW equipment which is a
monitor, computer and DAW controller. But, that's another story. Until next
time...

JBL JRX218S Compact Subwoofer
January 26, 2016
If you are not familiar, a subwoofer is a component of a loudspeaker that produces a low bass frequency. You can choose a big or small subwoofer. Size doesn't matter as long as it gives me a theatrical-like surround, it'll make my day.
I recommend JBL JRX218S with 18 passive compact subwoofers. It handles 1400w peak power! It's high quality when it comes to super sound! It's very affordable and easy to mount.

Urbanista: A Tribute to Urban Lifestyle
October 14, 2015
Whatever, Whenever and Wherever, music has been a part of our life. Even a baby loves to hear music and lull them to sleep. As a mom, that's what I do with my son when he was more than a year old.
When it's time for me to do the house chores, I'd love to hear an upbeat music. Madonna's music makes me dance while doing house chores. I sway and sashay while sweeping the dance floor err the house floor. Even if I am washing our clothes, no one can stop me. It makes me feel so relaxed, light, happy and fast! That is why - “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
With that, I need a good headset/earphone product so I can move my hands and limbs freely. As they say, "Go with the flow". I am lucky that Urbanista is now in the Philippines.
Filipino Boy Joined X-Factor Bulgaria in 2011
February 10, 2013
My son and I were both watching a movie trailer from youtube when I caught a glimpse on one of the video's on the right side. I become curious and excited to watch it. The title was X-Factor Bulgaria - Philippine Boy. The boy's name is Alexander Aguilar. He's a Filipino - American working as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bulgaria.
I don't understand Bulgarian but thanks to Youtube's update. There's a button that you can watch the video with a caption on for different languages. Even so, the translations were weird and different. I am glad there's another option for me to understand it. It's a transcript icon in which you can read what they were talking about when you click. And here's some of them:
0:13 Hello.
-Hello.
0:15 What's your name?
0:16 My name is Raphael.
0:17 Raphael, how old are you?
0:20 I'm 25.
0:21 And where do you come from?
0:23 I come from California, San Francisco.
0:26 I was born in the Philippines.
0:31 What brought you in Bulgaria?
0:33 I'm a Peace Corps volunteer.
0:39 How long have you been in Bulgaria?
0:40 I've been here for two years.
0:42 Only two years and
0:43 you speak Bulgarian like that!
0:46 Talent!
0:47 Bravo! Bravo!
0:48 Thanks.
0:49 What does the Peace Corps do?
0:53 I am an English teacher in Bregovo,
0:57 a small town near Vidin.
The title of the Bulgarian song is "Oblache le Bialo" (The little white cloud). It is an emotional song, I think. That's why the judges and audiences were teary-eyed when they heard it.
Here's the translation from DjanielJungParker in here
:
Tell me white cloud, Where did you came? Where did you fly?
Do you not see my father's home? Do you not hear my mother talk?
What makes my sweet child, with foreign people, foreign bread shared.
What makes my sweet child, with foreign people, foreign bread shared.
You tell her white cloud, I'm alive and well here, and that you saw me.
Send many greetings from me, much time has passed, still little stay.
Soon the time will come in the village to return, to return and to hug my mother.
Isn't it lovely?
Luigi Seno, A Filipino who made it to America's Got Talent
July 4, 2010
Here’s another Filipino who made it to America’s Got Talent 2010. He had impressed the judges and wowed the audiences. Guys, let’s meet Luigi Seno. He was born in Cebu and migrated to the United States in 2001 for greener pastures.
This was shared in my Facebook wall. After viewing, it made me teary-eyed when he answered why he got so emotional.
His style of singing is like Nyoy Volante with a voice-like Jason Mraz.
