This is Kaamatan featuring Alvin a.ka. Defoo

Kaamatan or Pesta Menuai or if translated in English ‘Harvest Festival’ is here again! What better way then to celebrate it with some song and dance ey?

Speaking of songs, here’s the updated version of my This is Kaamatan song. Previously I recorded it as an ‘acoustic version’. This time I added some other elements to give it a more festive feel and of course a Sabahan ethnic music theme to it too.

This song was recorded in my so called ‘Home Studio’ yesterday. It was one terribly hot Sunday afternoon. Since my recording room doesn’t have an air conditioner, we had to switch off the fans to reduce any unwanted sounds. It is still not studio quality definitely.

I would like to thank Alvin a.k.a Defoo who is also part of the group called Infinatez who took the trouble to come over to do this demo. We even had extra time to record some video footage for this song’s video so stay tuned for that one too!

Lastly, I would like to say Aramai tih! To all people of Sabah and Sarawak who will be celebrating the harvest Festival soon. Have a good one!

Happy Kaamatan!

MY SOUL REJOICES IN MY GOD

MY SOUL GLORIFIES THE LORD,
MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD, MY SAVIOUR.
HE LOOKS ON HIS SERVANT IN HER NOTHINGNESS;
HENCEFORTH ALL AGES WILL CALL ME BLESSED

THE ALMIGHTY WORKS MARVELS FOR ME.
HOLY HIS NAME!
HIS MERCY IS FROM AGE TO AGE,
ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

HE FILLS THE STARVING WITH GOOD THINGS,
SENDS THE RICH AWAY EMPTY.
HE PROTECTS ISRAEL, HIS SERVANT,
REMEMBERING HIS MERCY.

Psalm 32, popular for weddings

Recorded the first responsorial psalm with my new acoustic guitar. She seems to be enjoying herself doing recordings. Hope to have more experience together in the future with her. This is taken from Psalm 32. A friends wedding is coming up today so I made this tune about 3 days ago. Recorded the last bit last night. Since I was at a family member’s place, I did not bring my microphone pop-filter, instead I used a T-shirt for the job!
The church at my place decided that all psalms recital had to be done at the altar so for this one I made a minus one cd as backup music instead of the usual live playing. (Hope nothing goes wrong with the sound system)
Here it is, Psalm 32, one of the favourite psalms for weddings.

The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord

They are happy, whose God is the Lord,
the people he has chosen as his own.
The Lord looks on those who revere him,
on those who hope in his love.

Our soul is waiting for the Lord.
The Lord is our help and our shield.
In him do our hearts find joy.
We trust in his holy name.

May your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in you
