ABOUT US....
AINOS (pronounced ay-nos) once came up with a song that not could only
took the airwaves by storm, but also whiffed all over the metropolis
with this kind of smell that would remind us every time of Taboan Public
Market.
The bagsakan center of buwad mangsi, buwad pinikas, buwad lawlaw, buwad
potpot is a living testimony of the bounty of our seas and reminder
that the One GOD has incessantly sustained these waters. And that seas
have religiously respected needs to appease hunger pangs even by those
who have spilled sludge all over them.
Thoughts deemed unfathomable for scriptural undertones were expressed
in layman's terms in "BUWAD" song that took the air lanes;
its theme on Christian living went past some church gate and took the
mainstream.
The saline smell of BUWAD whiffed all over the metropolis, and so it
came to pass that the song became an anthem of the highly marginalized,
those who could afford buwad only on their meal tables buntag buwad,
udto buwad, inig kahapon magsugba lag buwad.
Little did everyone know that the song was not just written to amuse
listener. BUWAD is a song of thanksgiving to the Supreme for even the
small things that could came to a man.
Rogene Macion ( bass guitarist), Joshua Ponce (vocal, composer), Richie
Amoin (rhythm guitarist), Emerson Dungog (Lead Guitarist), Gregorio
Baguio (Drummer) of Lapu-lapu City make up AINOS, a greek word that
means Praise God and also refers to the tallest mountain in cephallonia,
Greece with elevation at the top of the point standing at 1,628 meters
(or around 5,350 feet).
Actually, BUWAD may sounds novelty. But if you are deep into music,
you will understand that BUWAD is contemporary gospel music. It is very
humble way of repeating to oneself: glass half full, just remind us
to be very grateful for everything that we have, Rogene expressed on
behalf of the other members who all affiliated with the Mactan Christian
Community Church (MCCC)
It was learned that the flock was part of the Campus Ministry of Babag
National High School. It was during their being a school band that they
were able to experience on-stage performances mostly for drug awareness
campaigns.
The band formed in 2001, the group wrote BUWAD using for the guidelines
the influences of the other successful Christian bands like Thousand
Foot Krutch, P.O.D (Payable On Death), DC talk, Kutless, Hillsong, Metal
Praise, and Petra, Jeremy Camp, 12 stones, Seventh Day Slumber.
Recently, AINOS other song, ADIS-ADIS, NAKAHINUMDOM, TSISMIS (the culture
of gossiping in here and the aftermath tackled) received airplay over
93.1 Smash Fm, 97.1 MOR and other radio station. They thankful for this
development, saying it is difficult for a type of music to get a wide
acceptance that is now being enjoyed by most bisrak bands. Knowing that
the definition of Christian music is still KAHON. Wala pa sad mi album.
