I remember the first time I heard of Pinoy Rock or rock music written and performed by Filipino bands with locally written lyrics was from my brother. I remember he pasted the wall of his room with cut-outs of Pinoy bands and their logos that he got from music magazines. One of the earliest songs that I heard from that genre was from the band Maria Cafra. One of their songs was one of my first favorite Pinoy Rock songs, That song was "Tayo'y Mag-Rock And Roll".
The songs message was simple: Forget your blues and let's rock! It was a very uplifting sound and it was great for chasing the blues away. First time this caught my ear, I was hooked and I kept playing this song again and again. The only person that didn't approve of this song was tutor and she wonder why a kid my age was listening to this music. The answer was simple: It rocks! Since it rocks, it a cool song and that's that.
I'm really glad that YouTube posted this song. I've missed listening to it for such a long time. I thinks I'll be repeating it again and again for tonight. That's a sign that it's a good song. Especially when you just rock and rock hard.
