This weekend was the launch of JOSE at Musika’s first studio album entitled Luma. JOSE at Musika is a Blues and Jazz band lead and founded by Jose Delos Reyes. Jose has been composing original music since 2010, sharing original composition and covers in social media and started performing at local bars by March 2014.

With hardwork and passion, Jose formed his band under Red Button Production, consisting of friends with the same passion for music. Among the other members of the band are Robert Taylan on bass, Wilbert Tan on lead guitars, Mark Galang on keyboards and Jazz Magday on drums.

Just recently, the band was able to produce their first studio album entitled Luma. Here’s the promotional ad of the album launch.

The album launch was also in celebration of Red Button Production’s third year and Jose’s birthday.

Among the performers who we were able to listen to were Kai Atienza, Chased, Jana Garcia and Unmute.

Each band played 3-4 songs per set. Here’s part of Jana Garcia’s performance that night:

The place was full by the time JOSE at Musika was setting up. There was also a surprise cake for Jose. Funny how the place was filled with singers and yet the crowd wasn’t able to sing the Happy Birthday song properly. lol

The band played almost all of their songs from the album. Luma has 9 original compositions and 3 bonus tracks. Each of the tracks have jazzy-blues-flavor and has an overall mellow and feel-good vibe in it. Though lyric-wise, the compositions are sad and as the band said the songs were “mga kanta ng sawi”. My favorites were Probinsya and Bigo.

The album includes the following tracks

No.	Track Name
1	Probinsya
2	Harana
3	Oh Hindi
4	Kung Ako
5	Bigo
6	Hangin
7	Tagulan ng Luha
8	Balik Tanaw
9	Sayo Na Lang

Here’s JOSE at Musika performing Probinsya at their set.

Anywho ~ after the band finished playing we got out the booth, got our CDs signed and a selfie with Jose.
