Nanay Mo: Ilaw ng rakenrol
Music today has mainly spiraled towards the “techy” side, from the likes of B.P Valenzuela, Squid 9, Tarsius, Eyedress, No Rome, CRWN, Spazzkid and many great others. But for the grit that comes with playing classic rock & roll instruments that will make you exercise your neck from all of the rakenrol goodness you will hear, the band Nanay Mo provides their hard-hitting riffs that come with a touch of blues, proving that music still has a soul.
The band hails from the mighty avenue of Katipunan, Quezon City. Like the bands “She’s Only Sixteen” and “The Kids Are Alright” they are part of the roster of AMP (Ateneo Muscians Pool).
“The only way to describe Nanay Mo is with the word “rakenrol.”All experts in their own instruments, they don’t need to worry about playing the wrong note or going off-beat, they just need to worry about how low they’re rocking your pants off.” - AMP
Their latest self-titled album brings back good old rakenrol feels that has a mix of blues and rock that includes amazing riffs and beats and that essence of OPM that will make any pinoy music enthusiast proud. Nanay Mo brings tunes that are undeniably great that any rock & roll listener would easily like.
Nanay Mo is Jong Cardenas (vocals), Gio Puyat (guitar), Anjo Joaquin (guitar), Anton Magno (bass) and Nash Ignacio (drums).
