Episode Synopsis "Got to Believe in Music"

The Philippines is known as a musical paradise with a thriving local musical scene, and yet there are some foreign songs which have become hits and even become part of the national consciousness--even if they were not hits or even charted anywhere else in the world. Join host Ruel S. De Vera as he discusses this phenomenon with UP Professor Pinky Aseron and one and only David Pomeranz, whose "Got to Believe in Magic" is practically a Filipino standard--even though it's a foreign song. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
