After several decades of dormancy, the Blues seed planted by our 'fathers' has now germinated. Presenting, the Philippine Blues Society (P.B.S.) -- the best thing that ever happened to Pinoy Blues!!!
Alongside is the creation of the <a href="http://philippinebluessociety.com/">official PBS website</a>, which can be accessed <a href="http://philippinebluessociety.com/">HERE</a>. I'll be spending most of my blogging hours maintaining this new site and so I'll be temporarily signing off from Blues Pinoy -- but I'll still be doing updates once in a while.<br />

Mga kaibigan, ako po ay humihingi ng tulong sa inyo na suporthan ang aking kababayan na si Paul Marney Leobrera. Sa katunayan po ay kakagaling lang po ng kanilang banda sa Memphis para ikatawan ang ating bansa sa larangan ng tugtuging Blues.<br />
<br />
Ngayon po naman ay may posibilidad po silang makapag tanghal sa bansang Singapore at ito po ay mangyayari la-ang kung makakakalap tayo ng pinaka maraming boto.<br />

Simple la-ang po ang paraan upang makaboto tayo. Sundan po lamang ang paraan sa baba.<br />

One of the best Blues guitarists of all time, Hubert Sumlin has passed away due to heart failure. Sumlin gained blues fame as a guitarist for the legendary Howlin' Wolf from around 1954 to 1976. His guitar part on 'Killing Floor' by Howlin' Wolf was perhaps Sumlin's greatest contribution to music. <br />
<br />
<i>From Wikipedia</i><br />
<br />
Hubert Sumlin (November 16, 1931 – December 4, 2011) was an American Chicago blues and electric blues guitarist and singer. He was best known for his celebrated work, from 1955, as guitarist in Howlin' Wolf's band. His singular playing was characterized by "wrenched, shattering bursts of notes, sudden cliff-hanger silences and daring rhythmic suspensions". Sumlin was listed as number 43 in the Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.<br />

Here's a splendid performance from the newest Blues band in town, this time doing their own version of the late great Jimi's Red House. Note the excellent harp work + cool guitar riffs = 2 thumbs up! <br />
<br />
And to think that Ian has been doing harp for just about a year!<br />

Cuarenta plays Blues and Classic Rock in a totally different way. Caught between acoustic & electric, you get your hit of sensitive & dynamic genre of the Blues mixed with the warmth & soul of classic rock...like a shot of a mild sedative.

Blues music is one of the most important creations of man. As written in an earlier post, "Blues is not just a genre - it's a microcosm of life itself. There's sorrow, happiness, hope, loneliness, religion, hunger, satiety, sin, redemption, and love - all embedded in the songs and expressed through voice and instruments." <br />
<br />
Blues may now be considered an international phenomenon - it has crossed borders, no longer an exclusive American property. But here in the Philippines, it still is not a popular music form, much to the dismay of Pinoy Blues die-hard fans.<br />
<br />
Luckily, Blues has lately been experiencing a revival. With the tireless efforts of Blues stalwarts who conduct seminars, clinics, and provide "Blues exposure" through concerts and performances, plus video blogs like this one by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/haringulan">haringulan</a>, slowly but surely, the Blues is getting the attention it deserves.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938000571545492519.post-27615409422895664292011-03-24T05:12:00.000-07:002011-03-24T21:57:58.534-07:00Farewell Pinetop Perkins (1913-2011)<center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_CFWDyF0t3I" title="YouTube video player" width="480"></iframe></center><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">We bid goodbye to another Blues legend and boogie-woogie master, </span><span class="style99" style="font-size: small;"><span class="style101"><b>Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins</b></span><span class="style100">.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In a career spanning eight decades, Perkins toured with Ike Turner in the 1950s and later with Muddy Waters. Perkins also won Grammy awards for Lifetime Achievement in 2005 and for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2007.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Once asked about his longevity, Perkins said: "I always try to do something different all the time." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Another blues legend, BB King, said: "He was one of the last great Mississippi Bluesmen, and he sure could play the piano.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He will be missed not only by me, but by lovers of music all over the world." His agent said that his tastes were simple. "Two cheeseburgers, apple pie, a cigarette and a pretty girl was all he wanted."</span><br />

This is certainly one for the books - a very rare and historic occasion where Pinoy Bluesmen of different generations (and regions) congregate to create a musical masterpiece.
