Losing You by Lampano Alley (live)

Once again, get a good Blues groove from the best in the land - Lampano Alley, featuring the delta flavored voice of Binky Lampano and the rest of the gang. From rakrakandotcom's YouTube channel: "...Losing You recorded live at the Blueskrieg concert at 19East Music Hall. Binky Lampano on vocals, Tom Colvin on blues harp, Edwin Vergara on guitar, Simon Tan on bass and Rey on drums." This is the third track from the album Songs from the Alley.
Performed at Mosaic Music Festival in Singapore (March 2005), this is an original track from Songs from the Alley album of Lampano Alley, written by Simon Tan & Binky Lampano. Listening and watching this video, one can't help but admire the tight band and talent behind the performance. Featuring the cool harp sound of Tomcat!

The original Filipino wailer! I remember watching Binky Lampano's band on TV years back (Lampano Alley). It was a series of performances titled "Concert at the Park." Luckily I was able to catch a glimpse of those. Binky's voice stood out, always did. Even though he had a tight band which included the great Tom Colvin on harp, still it was Binky who gave the group its soul. Probably, he IS the reincarnation of a long-gone blues singer from Mississippi. The group has since disbanded, I've read that Binky is now based abroad.
