Blues Pinoy

Who says that Blues is nonexistent in Cebu? Here's deltaslim and the harp guy doing a slow Blues number during the Cebu Guitar Festival 2010. Enough said - just listen and appreciate this excellent stuff. Video courtesy of Sir Junx/The Outpost.

Splendid slide guitar works and great vocals from Lady I. This is the band's version of I'm A Woman performed during the Blues Joint Project Master Class at University of Santo Tomas August 16, 2010. BLUES JOINT PROJECT: Irene "Lady I", vocals Kakoy Legaspi, guitar Joric Maglanque, guitar Thomas "Tomcat" Colvin, harmonica Nikki Cabardo, keyboards Eric Hernandez, bass Harald Huyssen, drums

This is The Blues Joint Project band performing Hey Bartender at the Blues History & Performance workshop & concert held at the UST Conservatory of Music. I believe this is just one of a series of events to be conducted by the group to promote Blues music appreciation to Filipinos especially the younger generation. Hats off to the the organizers for unselfishly sharing their time and effort for this "noble cause." BLUES JOINT PROJECT: Irene "Lady I", vocals Kakoy Legaspi, guitar Joric Maglanque, guitar Thomas "Tomcat" Colvin, harmonica Nikki Cabardo, keyboards Eric Hernandez, bass Harald Huyssen, drums GUEST ARTISTS: Tots Tolentino, sax Butch Roxas, guitar Jun Lopito, guitar Roger Pullin, vocals/guitar Video courtesy of Harald Huyssen. Thanks bro!

After a long, long wait, I finally got to see Delta Slim's Cebu gig. Wish I'd seen this live though. Also in this video, Delta Slim's new Harana acoustic guitar had its debut and we can see what an outstanding instrument it truly is. (I can hear Boss Anot in the background excitedly commenting as well as the appreciative Cebuano crowd roaring at the end of each number.) Again, another great performance from a great Blues man.

This could be the first Pinoy Blues supergroup! (Cuarenta y Uno?) Deltaslim will be jamming with Cuarenta in what will surely be an unforgettable night of Blues. No entrance fee, no exit fee either! Enjoy The Outpost's ice cold beer and reasonably low-down-priced goodies. Man, wish I could be there!!!

One of the stalwarts of Pinoy Blues, Joric Manlanque, is featured in an interview by Erwin Oliva. A fitting tribute to a bluesman-to-the-bone pinoy. CLICK HERE TO READ THE COMPLETE ARTICLE

This is a live version of Di Na Lang Sana by Firebottle, fronted by 'deltaslim' Joric Manlangque, one of the vanguards of Pinoy Blues, showing his vocal and guitar playing prowess! If you're one of the few lucky dudes who got a copy of the Blueskrieg album, you'll find this on track #8. Kakoi Legaspi does the Blues harp chores on this one.
