MUSIC LYF: Callalily - Flower Power BlogCon and Listening Session

To tell you the truth, years ago, I was not a fan of Callalily, thinking that this would be just another band that gives a generic type of music for a generation, but then I was wrong. Giving myself to listen to the music that they make made me realize that these guys do make good OPM music.

Callalily consists of Kean Cipriano - Vocals,Tatsi Jamnague - Guitars, Aaron Ricafrente - Bass, and Lemuel Belaro - Drums. They were known for the songs Stars, Take My Hand, Magbalik, and  Pasan. Things might have became busy with the band with a lot of exposure to TV and vocalist Kean Cipriano also having acting roles in series and movies. His other bandmates also became busy with their other day jobs. Despite this set up, they still remain intact as a band and now has released a new album  entitled FLOWER POWER. Also this will be their new album as a they are now under Universal Records.

REEL DEAL: Tiktik The Aswang Chrnicles SPOTLIGHT

Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles is a horror adventure destined to be the benchmark by which films of its type will be judged   

Filmmaking is about taking risks, says Erik Matti, writer and director of the biggest horror adventure of 2012, Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles. What else would you call the movie’s astronomical budget, the decision to shoot it entirely on green screen and have a bad boy character as the film’s main protagonist?

The concept immediately appealed to lead actor Dingdong Dantes who is playing against type in this project. “Collaborating with Erik Matti and executive producer Dondon Monteverde allowed me to break out of the stereotype of my roles on TV and in the movies.”
