Madz sing Paraiso in NYC

Paraiso by Ryan Cayabyab and arranged by Chris Borela. Sung by the Madz at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in NYC, September 9, 2007. A tribute to the humanity and dignity that endure in the residents of a garbage dump.

[@glennaytona]

Rest in Peace Sir JH. You’ve set the benchmark in singing the solo part of this piece. You will be missed. Thank you for the music. This has been in my playlist since forever.

[@WeLoveUnicorns]

Thanks, Glenn😔

[@franklinhinosamancia2665]

Hala so sad. 😢 palagi ko tong pinka kikingan na version

[@karstinfrane8469]

Anu pong nangyari sa kanya?

[@BisdakCamper]

Joe, the soloist will surely be missed... he just passed away today... See u on that glorious morning.. in a different Paraiso where there's no more death...

[@PTunnelly]

Best batch of madrigal singers

[@vincentsomoza7380]

Ang galing ng batch na ito!!

[@jersaint4943]

Super agree

[@musicaffionado]

It's the same batch that won the 2007 European Grand Prix for Choral Singing.

[@christianal8669]

Hows the latest batch ?

Latest batch of madz kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmGWZ4Sai9mXh9U

[@kennysure2839]

please.. this batch.. make a zoom choir performance.. we need to hear you especially during this pandemic

[@acrs3426]

Ang ganda, rinig mo yung harmony ng choir, tamang tama, rinig mo bawat boses SATB walang nagmamalakasan. Tapos ang galing rin ng soloists, same lang ng volume, hindi masyadong malakas yung isa tapos mahina naman yung isa. Ang ganda at ang galing, expected sa Madrigal Singers

[@lgarrido60]

Sa bawat oras na marinig ko kahanga-hangang group, hindi ko maaaring makatulong ngunit huwag mag-masaya sapagkat ito ay kaya propesyonal at kaya kagila, ang isang thousand binabati kita at magpatuloy Pag-ani ng tagumpay bilang magandang group.

[@mskimyu]

Hindi ko namamalayang naluluha na pala ako... Madz you are all a gift from God.

[@mrVOX07]

IDOL bass soloist! Ganda talaga! Whew!

[@tianayabe9173]

Feb 25, 2020 🤚🏻 ang galing2x po ng Madz.. at sa soloists po Alto at Baritone.. bagay na bagay po ang boses nila sa solo part 😊

[@lgarrido60]

Makinig sa grupong ito at ang aking kaguluhan gumagalaw sa akin, ang isang grupo na may mahusay na kulay ng boses, perpekto pitch, maganda presence. Gusto ko ako ay nagkaroon ng kagalakan ng pakikinig personal dito sa Venezuela. Canto noong nito founding huling 25 sa CantArte may Master Cesar Alejandro Carrillo.

Return to a land called paraiso, A place where a dying river ends. No birds there fly over paraiso, No space allows them to endure. The smoke that screens the air, The grass that's never there. And if i could see a single bird, what a joy. I try to write some words and create A simple song to be heard By the rest of the world. I live in this land called paraiso, In a house made of cardboard floors and walls. I learned to be free in paraiso, Free to claim anything i see. Matching rags for my clothes, Plastic bags for the cold. And if empty cans were all i have, what a joy. I never fight to take someone Else's coins and live with fear Like the rest of the boys. Paraiso, help me make a stand. Paraiso, take me by the hand Paraiso, make the world understand That if i could see a single bird, what a joy. This tired and hungry land could expect Some truth and hope and respect From the rest of the world.

[@Lon3wolf13]

Vonn no birds dare to fly

[@duckgo8755]

Damn bro

[@pde12660]

[@pierrelatuheru]

Such a beautiful song. Where can I find the full score?

[@nestorenriquez3284]

Wala ka talaga mapupuna sa performance nila. And I also agree sa mga nagsasabi sa mga sopranos, their high notes are just flitting.

[@oswaldluarca1115]

wow,,,superb...,, sheikyurbhutti paano po ba ako makakaavail ng piece na ito? salamat po? sobrang ganda po. salamat po and God bless.

[@kjjayt]

[@yvesvenezolana]

@bLacKLacE081 - she is Julie. A very veteran alto.

[@d33scombobulated]

Cant get over dun s alto na nagsolo. Anu po name nya?

[@janmichaelmonsalve1814]

Nakakaiyak..heavenly

[@knock4321]

so beautiful... goosebumps.

[@md2rn2np2broadcaster]

@jamiegun123 that is so true... coz two of our choir maestros are from this batch... one of them is not even from UP but from DLSU -- the singers are only invited to join ne'er auditioned. I know for one thing La Salle has no major or course in Music studies. Talentado lang talaga sila. At para maimbitahan. Eh, ang hihirap ng mga arrangements -- tapos kung totoong madrigal pieces naku -- kahit Music majors nga sa UP 'di lahat imbitado... Mabuhay!

[@0312chiza]

jo honey romulo is the soloist.

[@jenrozul5498]

o my gosh... so beautiful

[@phillipanonuevo2476]

Superb.

[@konerks]

Cno po ung female soloist. Galing.... Hehe ever kulinggit talaga c Karlene haha

[@kimguarnes]

u guys are the best! im pruod to be a filipino

[@shabytin]

Still my favorite.

[@kennysure2839]

OMG this is still the best…. after listening to APAS

[@pinoytutor]

I have a casette tape of this song coz I love Smokey Mountain since I was young. And I almost know most of the lyrics as well. I agree with md2rn2broadcaster, some of the words have been 'altered' a bit - I agree it was 'SCREEN'. But I know there is a technical reason for that. It does not mean it is wrong. I love the video that is all that matters to me. Love you Madz!

[@cyclone18ful]

ano pong name nung bass na soloist?ang galing idol!sana maging mentor ko din po kayo...the best talaga!

[@BenjaminGerez]

wow, i love the sound...ag pino ng soprano...

[@13lhon]

[@irmsk69]

sarap pakingan!!! Paradise talaga! Love U MADZ!

[@mardzzz]

sobrang ganda talaga!!! sana mturuan din po ang mariano marcos (m.h.c.c. chorales) !!!!! thank you poh!!!!

[@viva.arriva]

Sounds like heaven!

@md2rn2broadcaster : "ang dami mo pang sinabi?" wow that's awesome... salamat sa citation mo... see where i am coming from... if Madz is world class, and the conductor is at the helm of perfection, and their colleague Mr. Cayabyab is going to hear this, then I presume they would sing it right... but I guess not... thanks for pointing it out. You should also just have posted the corrected lyrics per se... ikaw nga maraming sinabi -- isa lang naman tanong ko, eh... pinuna mo na lahat... haha!

[@ranhony]

so awesome!

[@jericmacul743]

Sobrang galing nila!!

[@KennethLaurenteMusic]

madzs is the best!!!!!! go madz...

[@rouen101]

sana kahit 1/4 lang ng galing nila ang mamana ko... inspired ako umattend sa practice ng choral group namin...
