00:00He is known as one of the leading classical guitarists in the Philippines now.

00:04He has won in various guitar competitions and has performed in numerous concerts around the Philippines and abroad.

00:13And now, he has released his book with the title, Play Filipino.

00:17He is none other than the classical guitarist, Moncheng Carpio.

00:21Good morning. Welcome here in Rise and Shine Philippines, Moncheng.

00:25Good morning.

00:26Good morning.

00:27Thank you for having me.

00:29Alright, before anything else, can you explain to us about this book, Play Filipino, and what is it about, Moncheng?

00:40Play Filipino is a collection of Filipino folk songs that I arranged for classical guitar.

00:48So, it's about the folk songs that we grew up listening to.

00:52I arranged it in a way that it's not the same as the original, so it's a bit deconstructed.

00:57So, it's a wordplay of Play Filipino, encouraging people to play more Filipino music,

01:04and at the same time, I played the folk songs.

01:10And Moncheng, how did you choose the songs that you will include in the book?

01:14And how long did it take you to make it?

01:17I noticed that in the book's screenshots, there are notes, so there are chords that our musicians can follow, right?

01:25It's a standard music notation, but I put a templature because not all notes are readable.

01:33So, it's just to make it accessible to everyone.

01:36And then, I chose the folk songs based on the ones that are familiar to me,

01:42because it's hard to arrange if you don't know what you're doing.

01:45So, it's like, mostly folk songs from Luzon, then a bit from Visayas,

01:51and then one piece from Mindanao, because it's hard to find pieces that are available online.

01:58And then, I made it during the pandemic, so it's four years in the making.

02:03So, during the lockdown, we couldn't do anything, we were stuck in our homes.

02:08So, I took the time to be creative, and also so that I wouldn't go crazy because we were all in lockdown.

02:14So, we had to do something to get our brains working.

02:18So, it took four years because of the procrastination.

02:24So, this year, I decided that I needed to release it.

02:30At least, you were very productive during the pandemic time, and you were able to produce this book.

02:36But other than that, can you tell us about your process in arranging these folk songs nationwide,

02:45from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao?

02:48Can you tell us about your process?

02:54I think it all started when I was visiting my mom,

03:00and I was commuting by train, and then I tried to sing the folk songs because there was a commute,

03:06so it took a lot of time.

03:09And then, instead of the usual form,

03:14for example, Leron, Leron, Sinta, instead of singing Leron, Leron, Sinta,

03:18what I did was I made the melody more fun, so it became Leron, Leron, Sinta,

03:23and then I changed the chord progression, harmony, and the form.

03:29So, it's not the typical folk songs anymore,

03:33so the approach became more popular,

03:37so it can be related to more people.

03:40In a way, Meiji, if you think about what Moncheng is doing,

03:42he's preserving our folk songs more,

03:45because there's a new rendition, is that what you call it?

03:48Or a new version?

03:49Yes, a new arrangement.

03:51Moncheng, aside from your book, you also have a new album release.

03:54Can you tell us more about it?

03:56Yes.

03:57Last September and October, I released Philippine Music for Classical Guitar.

04:02It's an original composition by Jose Valdez.

04:06He's one of the pioneers of classical guitar here in the Philippines.

04:10It's a 13-track composition,

04:12and I recorded it using historic guitars from the GTY collection,

04:18which are collectors' item guitars as old as 1883.

04:23So, 13 tracks and 13 guitars, so one guitar per track.

04:28It's available on streaming platforms.

04:32It can be streamed.

04:34Yes, I was curious to hear the different arrangements of your folk songs.

04:46Aside from Rondo Rondo and Sinta Moncheng,

04:48what other songs do you know?

04:50Yes, you also have a new arrangement.

04:54I have Paruparang Bukid, Sinsirit Si, May Lobo,

04:58so all of the folk songs that we grew up listening to.

05:01I also listen to it because it's nostalgic.

05:05It connects me to my childhood.

05:10Now, I'm presenting it in a different light

05:13so that it won't be boring.

05:15That's true.

05:16You mentioned Moncheng that you have collections of guitars.

05:23Why did you choose classical music?

05:27How did it start?

05:30When I was in high school, my dream was to become a rock star

05:34because I used to play in a band, so I used an electric guitar.

05:38Then, I had a friend who encouraged me to go to a conservatory.

05:42So, I tried it.

05:44It was like a culture shock because it was a no-treating class.

05:50But during that time, I had no idea that there was a conservatory

05:53or classical music.

05:55For us Filipinos, listening to classical music is not innate.

06:00Growing up, I had no idea.

06:02So, when I enrolled in UP, it was like a golden opportunity.

06:07When I experienced classical music, I realized that it's beautiful.

06:11So, you enjoyed it.

06:14I think if you're a musician, no matter what genre you're in,

06:18it's innate to be a musician.

06:21Moncheng, do you have any upcoming events?

06:24Go ahead, sorry.

06:26We all have talents, but in classical music,

06:32once you take classical training,

06:35the skills are easier to go to any genre

06:39because you're equipped with the technique.

06:41So, it's easier for you to adapt.

06:43So, even for my students, I don't force them to take classical music

06:48because they have different tastes.

06:50But at least, wherever they go, they're equipped with the technique.

06:54It's important to have an understanding of the music you make.

06:56The foundation is also important.

06:58Moncheng, I was saying earlier,

07:00do you have any upcoming events

07:02that you want to invite our RSP

07:04or social media pages

07:06that you want to share?

07:08Yes, you know, I'm excited

07:10because you have a book.

07:12So, I'm also excited

07:14if you'll have a concert.

07:16No, right?

07:18Because, of course, it's better live.

07:20Actually, I launched it

07:22three weeks ago

07:24at the Uchengdo Museum.

07:26So, I performed

07:28all the tracks

07:30in the book,

07:32live.

07:34It also has videos,

07:36so I posted it on my social media pages.

07:38And speaking of that,

07:40now in December,

07:42we don't have many events

07:44because we're on vacation.

07:46So, for next year,

07:48we have a lot of lineup events.

07:50But for those who are updated,

07:52they can find me

07:54online, on Facebook,

07:56YouTube, Instagram.

07:58So, just search for Moncheng Carpio.

08:00And also, I have a guitar quartet

08:02group.

08:04So, there are four of us guitarists.

08:06We play classical music.

08:08The theme is guitar quartet.

08:10So, follow our pages.

08:12Moncheng, I'm also curious

08:14since you gave a new life,

08:16a new arrangement, these folk songs

08:18that we already know.

08:20Do you also work with

08:22organizations?

08:24I mean,

08:26with music, OPM?

08:28So, you can

08:30spread

08:32the new rendition

08:34of songs.

08:36Actually, I have a lot of solo

08:38guitar covers of OPM songs.

08:40Because

08:42this is the way to bridge

08:44the gap between

08:46music people

08:48and those who are not familiar

08:50with classical music.

08:52So, this is the way

08:54to get their attention.

08:56At the same time,

08:58hopefully,

09:00they will appreciate

09:02Serious Classical Guitar Music.

09:04It's just a skill

09:06for more people to appreciate

09:08our instrument.

09:10Thank you so much, Moncheng Carpio,

09:12for joining us this morning.

09:14Good luck with your book and

09:16upcoming events.

09:18Thank you, Moncheng.
