Mars, What Na? | BUNK Collective - Mars, Kwentong Pinoy w/ Kumareng Charmagne, Canada- Creative Collaborator
play

09/14/21 • 66 min

Canada the land known for ice sports such as hockey, the beautiful national parks and for poutine. The locals worship at Tim Hortons and people are too polite for their own good, ey. These are all stereotypes, but Canada still holds allure for the many Pinoys who want to find their homes outside of the Philippines, the perceived friendlier alternative to it's neighbor, USA. We travel there to the city of Winnipeg with our guest kumareng Charmagne. Moving at a later age, she recounts how her move wasn't much of a transition since the country has a huge Filipino population. She grows closer to the locals who welcome her with open arms. Listen to her story of acceptance, and finding kinship outside of your own race.

Filipinos are natural born performers, may it be singing or dancing. You'd be hard pressed to find a filipino who didn't enjoy belting out at a karaoke or willing to join in on a jamming session. We are world class talents known for our versatility, our ability to pick up any genre or belt any tune. For that very reason a job in the music field or being a musician was once the most popular profession in Hong Kong. As early as 1950s there was a drove of imports of talents from the Philippines. Filipino Musicians were treated like celebrities, they played with the likes of Jacky Cheung, Anita Mui etc. But years have passed since the golden age and musicians and live performances have become a rarity in this pandemic world. Join us as we hear the highs and the lows of a father and son trodding similar paths.

This episode we travel to an island country in the southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand. A place well known for it's great quality of life where family time is as important as work which is guaranteed from 9 to 3. We have the story of a young Pinay who grew up in a pretty sheltered existence having to relearn all as she joins her husband as a new wife in a new city. She articulates dealing with changes, going through inward growth, having to step up and become independent as she continues her education as well as music pursuits and finds herself connecting with a completely different culture. Disclaimer: We experienced some technical difficulties with the recordings so forgive the less than stellar audio quality

05/18/21 • 94 min

We started this podcast with a question, and we end the season with several! For this episode, we take a quick look back at our past episodes and answer questions from our listeners! We have serious questions that could be straight from the Miss Universe Top 10 judging panel, for example, (I thank you for the question kumare Mika by the way) "Humans are social beings by nature, what are your thoughts about rampant anxiety/depression amongst people (not just the youth) and does this correlate to the “strong, independent, man/woman” mindset that we have built as a society?" to asking us to choose between our booty and our boobies (those words exactly and we had no problem at all answering with straight faces). Stick around till the end to hear us try pinoy tongue twisters. And ooh did they get twisted! Disclaimer: This was recorded live on our Instagram page so we apologize for all the background noises and fluctuating volume, but also for the randomness, losing our train of thought and long-winded stories, you know the usual. This is our special thank you and kamusta (How are you doing) episode to our kumares and kumpares across the globe.

Growing up as Filipino children in a Pinoy household we've all had the distinct pleasure of being asked to perform in front of the many relatives for any event under the sun. From an early age the entertainer spark had been coaxed out of us but only some brave souls proceed to do something with these talents and pursue a career in the performing arts. Tita Baby is an all rounder from singing to acting, painting, to cooking and doing charity work on the side, she makes sure to make full use of her time, fully booked 24/7. Join us as she regales us with tales of years growing up in Hong Kong almost fully local-trying her hand expanding and honing her interests.
