Kanlungan ( Noel Cabangon )

Noel Cabangon is best known for the timeless hit “Kanlungan,” a song that was released by his former band Buklod in 1992. The singer-songwriter has become synonymous with the song even if, surprisingly, he wasn’t the one who wrote it.
Unknown to the majority, it was actually Noel’s bandmate in Buklod, Rom Dongeto, who composed “Kanlungan.” When Buklod disbanded and Noel pursued a solo career, the song remained in Noel’s repertoire of live performances and soon became a crowd favorite.
And why not? Noel’s voice, coupled with his skilled guitar playing, is enough to make any audiophile fall in love. Noel has also written and recorded his own songs throughout his solo career.
The same soothing voice and exquisite guitar-playing ability greets you in his latest album, “Byahe Pa Rin,” which includes two of his original compositions as well as several covers of modern OPM hits.
