From one liners, a Filipino song is born

The Kayanihan Project launched earlier this year asked Filipinos to share one-liners about how life in the Philippines has improved. After sifting through some 900 entries, the first song created by the Filipino nation was born. Maestro Ryan Cayabyab’s OPM hit “Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika” was remixed to fit contemporary times and revamped with lyrics written by Pinoys. With Mr C, Regine Velasquez, Itchyworms and Gloc 9 at the helm of the project, the result is a mix of upbeat pop and rap, with the familiar tune of the classic hit.
