Fresh alternative na may twist

Ang ska, reggae at jazz ay hindi lamang tatlong iba’t-ibang genres altogether, napakahirap din nilang i-render. Higit sa abilidad mag-compose at magustuhan sila, ang sino mang musikero na nais tumugtog ng alin man sa tatlong ito ay dapat mayroon ng vitality at energy dahil ang ska, reggae at jazz ay di lamang auditory ngunit visual din. Bukod sa pagiging musician, the artist should also be a performer.

Malaking challenge at gamble kung pagsasamasamahin ang tatlong ito dahil ang irregularity ng kanilang beat at rhythm could never tolerate lapses. Ikaw nga, a single mistake spells the end of any artist’s career since genuine aficionados of these three genres are devoted diciples of good and beautiful music.

Ang alternative band na The Brownbeat Allstars ay matapang na hinarap ang pagsubok na pagsamasamahin ang beat ng reggae, the groove ng ska, at ang energy ng world at Latin jazz sa kanilang self-titled debut album under Neo Records.

Ang banda ay binubuo ng walong denizens who claim that the differences of their choices in music are precisely the unifying elements that keep them together as one. Ang mga miyembro ng banda ay sina Skarlet (vocals and band leader), Wam Molina (Percussionist), Rhanny Torres (bassist), Marc Liwanag (guitarist), Jay Alvar (drummer), Bong Termulo (trumpets), John Capistrano (saxophonist) at si Freddie Samson (saxophonist).

Eleven of the album’s tracks ay pawang original compositions kasama na dito ang hit song na "Lampungan" (it goes with the original mix and the tantrum mix). Dalawa naman ang remakes gaya ng APO Hiking Society classic "Mahirap Talagang Magmahal ng Syota ng Iba" (the album’s carrier single) at ang "Waray-Waray" ni Juan Silos, Jr.

The Brownbeat Allstars is now available in CDs and cassettes in all leading record bars nationwide. In line with the promotion of their album.
