Dear Friends,

I got this beautiful tribute to frontliners and health workers this morning. I’m sharing this with you.

The song is in Pilipino but music reaches everyone’s heart.

I hope you enjoy this.

Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, musicians in the Philippines responded with overwhelming unity for an initiative supporting the needs of communities, fellow musicians in need, and most especially frontline health workers.

Musika Publiko, a community of Filipino musicians, composers, music producers, and music enthusiasts for social relevance, joined the response with Tugtugan Para sa Kalusugan. Almost two hundred musicians to date, from all-over the country and abroad volunteered to hold Facebook LIVE performances every day for 40 days and counting.

This fundraiser in partnership with the Citizens‘ Disaster Response Center encouraged the creative participation of musicians, performers, and music producers while in lockdown. It was a collective battle call was not just for fundraising, but more importantly, for amplifying the call for people’s health and welfare amidst the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

„Magiting“ is Filipino for „brave“. Musika Publiko dedicates the song to the brave health workers and individuals who risk life and limb in fighting the pandemic. Written by Jaime Hernandez and produced with a nationwide and global network of musicians.

Producing the song within the framework of the current lockdown and restrictions to mobility, plus the physical distance of each and every participant was very challenging. But Musika Publiko was able to maximize technology and innovative music production techniques in putting MAGITING together.

Almost 50 musicians contributed to producing the song, representing the nationwide and worldwide participation of almost 200 musicians in the online fundraiser. The musical arrangement was a fusion of providing space to every musician so that they are uniquely heard throughout the song while creating a powerful impact when voices come together, united in chorus.

MAGITING is an anthem for all those who continue to support these brave health workers through donations, volunteer performances, and coordinating music communities across the globe to participate in whatever way they can.
