BTS: Ang Huling El Bimbo Behind The Song "Ang Huling El Bimbo" by Eraserheads

Ang Huling El Bimbo is classified as a bluesy yet timeless soundtrack. It is one of the hit songs of the 90s most popular rock band Eraserheads which was composed by the band's vocalist, Ely Buendia, in a span of just 5 minutes including its melody. Aside from its listenable music and a tragic yet hooking story about an innocent puppy love between two childhood friends that failed to develop as life led them apart - ouch. Listen below ↓ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lajnSJZpI34 Here are some of the lyrics: `Kamukha mo si Paraluman` `Nung tayo ay bata pa` `At ang galing galing mong sumayaw` `Mapa boogie man o cha cha` `Ngunit ang paborito` `Ay ang pagsayaw mo ng El Bimbo` `Nakakaindak, nakakaaliw` `Nakakatindig balahibo` El Bimbo is a famous dance in the past - well until now. It says here that the girl he likes is very pretty and she likes to dance. `Pagkaggaling sa eskwela` `Ay dideretso na sa inyo` `At buong maghapon ay tinuturuan mo ako` `Magkahawak ang ating kamay` `At walang kamalaymalay` `Na tinuruan mo ang puso ko` `Na umibig ng tunay` After school, the girl always teaches him to dance - with their hands intertwined as they sway. The girl taught the boy how to love. `Sana noon pa man ay sinabi na sa iyo` `At kahit hindi na uso ay ito lang ang alam ko` He felt that he should confess to her a long time ago. `At lumipas ang maraming taon` `Hindi na tayo nagkita` `Balita ko'y may anak ka na` `Ngunit walang asawa` `Tagahugas ka raw ng pinggan sa may Ermita` `At isang gabi'y nasagasaan sa isang madilim na eskenita` `Lahat ng pangarap ko'y bigla lang natunaw` `Sa panaginip na lang pala kita maisasayaw` And here comes the tragedy. After long years of no communication, he found out that the girl he likes, already has a child but her husband left her. She is living as a dishwasher and one night, she was ambushed by a car. All the dreams that the boy had, just shattered. Aside from the story, this song also became remarkable for it took the lead guitarist (Marcus Adoro) almost 6 hours just to perfect the beautiful ending part of the song. Just wow right? It also has a musical produced by Resorts World Manila and Full House Theater Company, written by Dingdong Novenario, and directed and choreographed by Dexter Santos.

This is really gold. With the production and songs just blended together.Kudos to all the casts and crews! Thank you for reading and happy jamming!! Let's also support OPM ♥
