Walang pagsidlan ang kaligayahan

sa paglunsad ng haraya sa buwan ng

mga sining na kung maaari nga sana,

araw-araw maging pista ng mga

sining.

Ang salitang haraya ay Filipino ng

imagination, maaaringnaniniwala

kami na mas marikit ang imahinas-

yon ng mga sub-culture ngunit di

lang para sa sektor na nabanggit angzine kundi para sa lahat dahil wala

namang harayang napupudpod kundi

ang nagagasgas lamang at nagiging

mapurol ay ang maliit na bata sa at-

ing loob; ang dakilang haraya na unti-

unti nang humihina ang tinig dala ng

paglipas ng taon at modernisasyon.

Lahat tayo ay parte ng zine na ito

dahil lahat maaaring mag-ambag ng

sariling likha. Maaari niyong ipadala

ang inyong sining sa:

[email protected].

Gagawa rin kami ng e-zine na ber-

syon upang maiparating natin sa mga

karatig probinsiya at rehiyon ang

ating bulawang layon.

Sanay suportahan natin ang zine,

dahil para sa atin ito. Isang do-

kumentasyon ng kasalukuyan at na-

karaang panahon at pagtanaw sa

maaaring hinaharap.

Pipilitin po namin sa pamamagitan

ng tulong ninyo na mas mapabuti

ang kada isyu at maging salaming

kristal ng ating panahon.

Sa lahat, kudos at padayon.

Maraming, maraming salamat.

Panlungsod of Tabaco accredited. Its vision is to have a commu-

nity whether located in an urban or rural area that has residents

who are united and independent (not too much dependent on

government officials). We believe that a city or a town will be

fully or economically develop with its citizenry being united and

creative. Its mission is to do extensive research on cultural and

natural assets of the barangays of Tabaco at first and the whole

Bicol region soon and to produce a cultural program or show out

the researched assets. The group is also designed to do free art

workshops to the SKs of the 47 barangays of Tabaco. This shall

also serves as an avenue for art practitioners.

Haraya: Is there any message for the cultural workers,

youngbloods, local subcultural heroes out there?

Richard Madrilejos: Message to everyone: I would like to bor-row the wordings of Mr. John Lennon that our objective as an

artist is not to show you (the world) how to feel but only to ex-

press what we truly feel in order for you to relate and be given

enough possibilities for you to find or decide an answer or an-

swers.

Siguro gabos na na puede ko itaram nasurat na o tinaram na.

Siguro dapat mahiwas lang an satong pag iisip. Minsan minahay-

agpit an isip ko lalo na kun nakakainom. He he he. Sabi ngani Mr.

Julius Bariso, Cool lang Padi.. An mga gurang dapat pagsabuton

an pag abante kan mga aki. An mga aki dapat palawigon an

pagintiende sa mga gurang. Nagtutubod ako na lalong pinasupay

ni Atty. Antonio C. Cope, President kan Amando Cope College na

an mga kasimbugan sa kariribukan ngonian yaon man sana sa

nakalihis sa naagihan. Kaya dapat hinguwahon na rumdomon o

adalan an mga agi-agi ka ito ta an mga problema ka ito gare

problema man gilayon ngonian. An suma-tutal kan tigtataram ko

buda kan mawot kan ABKAT na dapat magkasararo kita buda

mamoot sa satuyang syudad buda nasyon. Ini an susi sa sarong

maurag na nasyon o lugar.

Haraya: cosmic gratitude chad o madrik, salamat sa iyong oras.

Richard Madrilejos: Walang anuman, salamat.

Isang panayam sa

Haraya: Why and what is Urag-Urag?

Richard Madrilejos: Why Urag Urag? One meaning of Urag

Urag that we had associated in English is enthusiastic or passion-

ate. It is the time where the Tabaqueo artists need to showcase

or show off their musical talents with enthusiasm and passion.

Another meaning of Urag Urag is to feel something bad or being

against to someone. I feel bad of profit oriented organizations in

Bicol especially in Tabaco producing a musical concert wherein

their artists are from Manila or outside Bicol. Their first goal is to

gain profit and second to entertain but I doubt to call it entertain-

ment. I feel bad also because some bands in Tabaco believe that

to be in a band is to be a show band and earn money, and also to

cover or to really copy a song of a mainstream band.

What is Urag Urag?

It is an original Ta-

baqueo musical

concert of different

genres. It is original in

a sense that all the

artists are all from

Tabaco. The musical

genres are folk/

acoustic, rap, and

rock. Its main objec-

tive is to encouragethe youths as well as

the professionals to create their own original music or art, not just

be passive and copy what is the mainstream, but still continue

their studies or their career. The concert also, wishes to unite the

youths as we consider them our audience to be pro life and pro

active.

Haraya: How is the concert's outcome?

Richard Madrilejos: As usual the program did not start on

time. It should have started at 6:00 pm. I really wanted it to start

by the said time but things sometimes really dont go as plan.

There were two acoustic performers. The Tabaqueo members of

Albay Rappers Club or ARC performed. There were more or less 15

rocks band of different genres that had performed last. The last 3

to 4 bands, I doubt if what they had performed were original be-

cause all are death genre already. Next time, it will be different.

Jimple (main man of Haunted Garage) and I observed that when

its rap time, the audience grew bigger in number.

Haraya: Tell me something about ABKAT?

Richard Madrilejos: '''ABKAT''' comes from the complete name

of the cultural organization which is '''A'''n '''B'''anwa: '''K'''ultura

buda '''A'''rtes kan '''T'''abaco, Inc.. It is a SEC and a Sangguniang

MAMAMAMA----URAGURAGURAGURAG na utak ng

URAGURAGURAGURAG----URAGURAGURAGURAG

Haraya: Is there any upcoming gigs or concert from Abkat?

Richard Madrilejos: The activities will depend upon the Board

but in the past it depends upon the person who is really commit-

ted to pursuing it even if she do it alone. Personally, I plan to

have Urag Urag Dos, a one act play, a theatre fest (an original

short one act plays competition open for the 47 SK Councils of

Tabaco. I also want my colleagues to plan and excel in their own

fields.
