RockkKapampangan!
Kaybat da ring pulusador antimo di Totoy Bato, Ruth Lobo, Bong Manalo at Pusuy Dos, ing ArtiSta. Rita pati di Ara Muna, daratan ne ing bayu pang tipun daring kantang Kapampangan!
Ing Center for Kapampangan Studies (ning Holy Angel University) na panimunan nang Robby Tantigco at metung karing masigasig a bayung sibul, I Jason Laxamana ning Kalalangan Kamaru deng ati king gulut ning bayung project: ing “RocKapampangan!” music album. Anapin Robby, “Kapampangan folk music is just about ready for its next reincarnation: RocKapampangan!”.
Ing pamansag a iti ibat ya kang Jason, na metung a Kapampangan filmmaker ibat king UP Diliman, nung nu ya munaman ing pekapamagat ning CD album.
RocKapampangan is not just an album, or a happening, it’s a revival of cultural experience! RocKapampangan is a modern design whose moment in time has arrive, uling kaybat da ring masasabing folk antimo deng pulosa at basultu, deng klasikal, deng tipung akostik ampo deng pop, ing rock ayni na ing tutuking lupa ning musikang abuburyanan da reng kayanakan kasalungsungan.

O Jo ko kaluguran da ka
Kapilan pamu itang Kapampangan version ning “Sometimes when we touch”, na mikalat king pamansag a “O Joe Caluguran Da Ca,” ing sinikat. Iti kinanta neng Ara Muna. Mula king dalan Plaridel ning Lungsud Angeles, angga na king Quiapu, Menila dakal nong mmengapisali karing pirated copies na niti. Ita mung metung karing kanta da ring ArtiSta.Rita, ing “Beria”, mika-techno-pop version nemu naman karing pwestung mamagtindang pirated cds.
What is happening right now is actually a good sign! Not only with the cultural revival of Kapampangan fad but an excellent example to what other Philippine ethnolinguistic groups can do in general.
Anyang ketang mumunang banwang 2000, ing Sapni nang Crissot, ni-lauch de ing double album dang “Pamalsinta qng Milabas,” kaybat na nita andyang linto malambatlambat muring e ya iti mitukyanan, atin parin namang memanyalisi. I Kragi Garcia ning Balen Macabebe atin lang pepalwal munaman kanita; kaybat ing king Camalig Music nang Marc Nepomuceno mika-album lang Kapampangang pamasku at makanyan mu naman ing king Holy Angel U migpalwal la ibat karing mikyabe kanita king ligligan kantang Pamasku.

ArtiSta.Rita, Aslag et.al.
The ArtiSta. Rita, jazzed up Kapampangan folk songs and even tied together their shows as big cultural events. Iti penimuan da ri Andy Alviz. Makanyan munaman I Mon David mekalwal yang personal nang album with Kapampangan pieces. Ding king Lungsud San Fernando migpalwal la naman mapilan. Ing ASLAG da ri Fr. Cao at Rolan Quiambao mekapag-release la namang karela. Kabang minuna kareti I Cris Cadiang mika-album nemu naman. Thus if we are to make a quick inventory of recently released K-music, this genre is still alive and is now once again trying to make a dramatic resurgence.

Panyingit: RocKapampangan the album will be launched at the Plaza San Jose, Holy Angel University on Monday, February 18 at 5 P.M. Admission is free.

K-baldugan
Pulosa – from the Latin prosa, meaning straightforward, hence the term "prosaic," which is often seen a perjorative. .... On the otherhand, pulosa is the Kapampanganized Spanish term involving the measured singing of Kapampangan folksong. It is the spontaneous rendering of words in singing in the basultu (native Kapampangan rhythm) way. Mamulosa or pulosador are the singers of this genre.
