“Sana ma-appreciate nila 'yung ganung klaseng sound and it will lead them to research more about kundiman. Sana maging bridge siya to research our heritage and learn more about Nicanor Abelardo and other kundiman artists, and, of course, 'yung appreciation for our language,” vocalist Clem Castro said in a virtual conference on Tuesday.

Castro added this is their way of paying tribute to the Tagalog language. “Tagalog is a very beautiful language. Malalim siya. With the right usage, ang gandang way of expressing your feelings especially with love,” he said.
