Bahay Kubo


Manila Rhythm - Brown Eyed Girl

Sunday's dinner plans brought us to a well-regarded Filipino restaurant, Bahay Kubo. A South African cabernet accompanied our seafood, chicken, duck, and vegetable dishes, but neither the wine nor the food had us nearly as excited as the atmosphere. No fault to the food, the satisfying meal was eclipsed by the Manila Rhythm, the Undisputed Titans of Filipino Cover Bands (it may be a small playing field, but they're the champions nonetheless).

These Heros on Nylon Strings showered us with wave after wave of classic Western rock, including the Rolling Stones, Prince, Dire Straits, and the Beatles. Check out the video of their cover of Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl.
