Filipina Soul

‘Buloy’ - American Style

by Maricar on March 31st, 2008

Filipino singers are great at singing English songs. But we don’t often hear non-Tagalog speakers attempt to tackle Filipino songs. So this YouTube vid is quite a rarity, in my opinion.

The original is by Parokya ni Edgar

Maybe this guy has a Filipina girlfriend he’s trying to impress. He says this is his attempt to sing Buloy “very badly”. Whatever his motivation, I think he actually does a pretty good job of it.

    There is still the accent but you’re right, it was a good job, indeed.
