Freddie Aguilar singing "Anak" in Singapore

On 18th April 2015 Freddie Aguilar gave an inspiring talk at the Singapore Management University on the "untold story" behind his world famous song "Anak", He performed that song with his son Jeriko and the Singapore Tremolo Rondalla (led by Dr Joe Peters) after that talk.

Bagong salta pa ako noon sa Manila nang umpisang sumikat ang kantang ito that was year 1978

[@DrJoePeters]

Oo, at ako ay isang estudyante sa UP Diliman noon din noong una kong nakilala si Freddie at nagtanghal kasama ang aking grupo sa kanyang club sa Bodega.

Great song.. From my idol Freddie aguilar...

[@takavams9939]

One of the many reason why I am proud of being a Filipino is because of Ka Freddie Aguilar and his timeless music. Truly, he is and will always be the greatest artist my country has -- atleast for me and for those who share the same thought.😉

[@ericputian124]

[@takavams9939]

[@ronaldaspa8206]

[@DrJoePeters]

Thank you. I wills end your message to Freddie!

[@jerryekid5846]

I wana hear singaporian version someday. Wow magaling

[@DrJoePeters]

So far I cannot find one version that is good enough to post. Anyway, I will beat this in mind and look for it again.

[@DrJoePeters]

Yes, Harold, it is the original Filipino (Tagalog) version that I listen to. But Freddie has to also develop new expressions for the news generations while he can.

[@leonnenaga22]

idol naman dyan

[@cecillacaba-loyola1058]

Deliberately a hit..called for its
awesome virtuality cultured among young people who are
delinquent of their future who later on realize the necessity to transform..A transatlantic favored by some...Outrank the
rest in the rooster and a gold hit in its own right.

[@jocabelcamporedondo7241]

[@noradilah1594]

Hi,,,admin....pls translate the lyric sonG in English....so we understand better,,,,I know this .... awesome sonG 🍓🍓🍓❤❤❤😊

[@DrJoePeters]

The English Version with Lyrics: th-cam.com/video/qX9YX3XZ8S0/w-d-xo.html

[@concerncitizen8988]

This could have been a lot better instrumentally, it lacks bass beat.

[@DrJoePeters]

Agreed! I was on the bass, but for the Tremolo instruments. His son was the dialogue up front. So, the music was meant to be led from the front. Nevertheless, I could have done more!

[@Spy-hp8ki]

It could have been without any instruments at all ... and still end up as beautiful as it is.

[@luisnavasero9516]

Im looking for his full emotions delivering the song he usually do in manila

[@DrJoePeters]

This is just one of his huge repertoire of versions. You should listen to them and then do your analysis. And please publish that. If you need assistance you can send your questions to me. Freddie is, at the moment, the only Filipino musician who has touched the world. But that trek was a very difficult one for him. I am now working pn a publican of the Professor Maceda (my teacher)- who was a major figure in musicology - that is music analysis.

[@chasingenigma7482]

Freddie Aguilar, Lolita Carbon, Asin, at Florante nasaan na kayo ayoko kay Daniel Padilla, Please lang.
