Songs that liberate are always timely

Bulatlat.com wrote a feature about the Makibaka album. Check it out! Makibaka: Music Inspired by the Struggle for Change (Ayi Muallam, Bulatlat.com)

"Fast-forward to 2010 and now comes a new breed of people’s musicians featured in Makibaka (Struggle), a seven-track compilation album consisting of songs for and about the struggle for meaningful change ...

The album stayed true to its tagline Rakenrol tungong Pagbabago (Rock ‘n roll towrds change). The songs veer away from the usual musical style of protest songs that have folk and marching beats, and instead will give its listeners half an hour of pulsating drums beats and powerful guitar riffs, a few ballad-like tunes, and the Rico Blanco-esque vocals of album producer and chief performer, Karl Ramirez. Makibaka is a rock n’ roll album that will be greatly appreciated not only by the progressive circle but also by the mainstream audience."
