The OPM that I chose to create a blog are all about the music entitled “Ang Huling El Bimbo” kantang inawit ng bandang “Eraserhead” ito ay isang halimbawa ng pagtatanghal na naghahatid ng aliw, kaligayahan, at luha sa mga Pinoy. Higit dito, naimulat ng dulang ito ang iba’t-ibang problema ng lipunan sa pananaw ng manonood. Ito ay isang orihinal na kwento tungkol sa magkakaibigang nagmula sa iba’t-ibang katayuan ng lipunan.
“Lahat ng pangarap ko’y bigla na lang natunaw. Sa panaginip na lang pala kita maisasayaw.”
Those are the famous lines from a famous old school band in the Philippines who continues to create a great impact in the music industry despite having disbanded many years ago. With that huge success and influence, how do you solidify a legend?
Through a musical, of course.They created a musical that pays tribute to one of the greatest Filipino bands out there. For me, their show is more than just a tribute, though. There’s more to it than meets the eye.
“ANG HULING EL BIMBO” follows the story of four friends: Emman, Anthony, Hector, and Joy. Set in two generations, the adventure of this barkada is a journey that teaches its audience how each and every decision we make can lead to different paths and consequences that we have to face and take responsibility for.
After the music video, I went out with a heavy heart and a lot of questions in mind. There are a lot of possibilities that could’ve happened in that story. It didn’t have to end that way. Everyone deserves a happy ending. Still, that is the beauty of Ang Huling El Bimbo. It will leave you satisfied yet begging for more. It will teach you to let go and accept whatever happens inside that theater. No matter how many questions are left unanswered, there are things better left unsaid.
If the song Ang Huling El Bimbo talks about a tragedy, the ending of this show resounds the lyrics of ‘Alapaap’:
“Masdan mo ang aking mata, ‘di mo ba nakikita? Ako ngayo’y lumilipad at nasa langit na… GUSTO MO BANG SUMAMA?”
