“Inside the saloon, a band of plump, middle-aged gentlemen in Stetson hats and leather jackets crooned about an Ibaloi girl from Bahong. Like the roses of Bahong Ambrosial and winsome If they uproot it and bring it to Manila They will kill it They sang in mellow, baritone voices.” SongMusicCowboyFilipinoManilaFilipino AuthorsCountry Music Book:Karinderya Love Songs Source: Karinderya Love Songs
“We didn't dance together. We danced our own dance, our own space. But we felt the connection. We were three people in communion with the music. The music sang and we sang back, loudly, with our bodies. For a moment, all the superficiality of the world; all its banal cruelty, wokeness, and mundane distractions—everything faded. Our souls reverberated with the purity of music, the release of dance, and the separate yet united communion of disparate people in that single experience.” LoveSexRelationshipsPartyMusicDatingDanceFilipino AuthorsElectronic Dance Book:Karinderya Love Songs Source: Karinderya Love Songs
