Carbon, who has already performed several times in this historic capital city said she always feel a rare kind of nostalgic feeling every time she plays in Malolos.

“Malolos is a highly revered city. Ito ang lugar na madarama mo at maipagmamalaki ang pagiging isang tunay na Filipino. Dito isinilang ang unang demokrasya na kung saan marami ang nagbuwis ng buhay, luha at hirap para makamtan ang kalayaan. Dito isinilang ang Unang Republika ng Pilipinas, ang alamat ng kabayanihan at dahil sa kanilang mga inalay sa inang bayan hindi na tayo kinikilalang mga “indio” kundi mga malayang mamamamayan ng Republika ng Pilipinas,” Carbon said.

The three Pinoy folk rock legends ( Coritha, Lolita Carbon and Heber Bartolome) — will serenade this historic city and bring back nostalgic sounds in a rare concert at the Tikay-Morato Concert Venue inside the 1st Malolos Industrial City in Barangay Tikay here.on December 17.

It will be held at the back of Shakey’s Malolos along McArthur highway.

City Mayor Christian D. Natividad said the concert will feature the signature songs of Coritha, Lolita Carbon of the group ‘Asin’, and Heber Bartolome of the group ‘Banyuhay\ whose popularity peaked during the late 70s when disco music started to dominate the airwaves.

“The music of these iconic folk legends will remind residents of Malolos – the birthplace of democracy in Asia and Africa – of their great heritage and the importance of love for country and fellowmen,” Natividad said.

“Madidinig natin muli ang musikang nagpa-alab ng ating pagka-Pilipino noong panahon na nababalot na takot ang ating Inang bayan. Ito’y hindi lamang pagpapaalala ng pagka-makabayan kundi pati ng diwa ng pagmamahalan na angkop sa nalalapit na kapaskuhan,” the mayor said.

Natividad, a lawyer whose stress-reliever is jamming with his brother’s band, said the concert’s front acts will feature local Bulacan bands and talents, as a tribute and early recovery of Pinoy Rock legend Joey “Pepe” Smith who recently suffered a stroke.

Eric Illescas, one of the sponsors and proprietor of Hap Chan and Shakey’s in Malolos, said the concert aims to make younger generation acquainted with classic OPMs and make them proud of being citizens of the Republic thru this kind of music.
