42nd anniversary of the declaration of martial law (Sept. 21, 1972)

“Julian Makabayan” composed by Lutgardo Labad, from the movie “Julian Makabayan” (1979), later performed by Patatag in a live concert in 1984, recorded several years after that in the album “Nagbabagang Lupa” (“Smouldering Earth”, my translation w/ apologies), uploaded in the “Patatag” site in soundcloud; image derived from the same album, all used here non-commercially for academic purposes.  This song plays automatically… and you should be hearing it right about now…
