                    [Title] => Joma sings own poems on CD album to be released August
                    [Summary] => PARIS — Communist leader Jose Ma. Sison has gone solo — in releasing a music album, that is.


Two years after Sison and his friends released a CD compilation of revolutionary songs, the poetry of the self-exiled chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) that he has himself rendered into song will come out in CD format this August.

Entitled "Joma Sison Sings His Poems," the communist leader describes the 15-song CD as having a "lyrical and art form."
