Message: BROWNMAN REVIVAL (broun'man ri-vay'vel) n.


An act that "creatively mixes the

traditional roots sound of venerated

reggae icon Bob Marley with a Hispano-

tropical pop sensibility as only sun-

loving Filipinos can". Influences include

such contemporary reggae acts such as Big

Mountain, Inner Circle and UB40. Brownman

isn't just about danceable music, however.

They are active members of Musicians for

Peace and regularly perform for the causes

they advocate. Whether promoting peace

because of crisis, or generating

donations, Brownman Revival is a usual

sight at benefit shows. Founded in 1995

Brownman Revival are: Dino Concepcion -

vocals Ambet Abundo - trumpets Jojo A

ntinero - saxophone Jayson Cuevas -

trombone Alphy - guitars Januarie

Sundiang - percussion onard- keyboards


Jao Larion - bass Dennis Concepcion -

drums. After almost 8 years of reggae

riddims, BMR finally came out with a

recording, the EP. The full studio album

is slated for release within the year.

They've got regular gigs at Xaymaca and

70s Bistro, and can be caught at various

special events as well.

Subject: d best!!!
Message: Perhaps one of the most enduring and familiar legacies to come out of the Caribbean shores would be that sensational dance-rhythm phenomenon born in the late 60’s, accented with a delirious and bewildering backbeat known as reggae. Armed with cool, soothing melodies and infectious grooves, reggae music chose to celebrate life, love and dance, amidst heated surroundings of ferment and crisis. It shouldn’t be hard to imagine then why nearly 180° degrees around the equator and thirty years later, on an isle quite similar to Jamaica, several young lads aimlessly floating in the doldrums of urban campus life caught on to the reggae fever and formed BROWNMAN REVIVAL. Started in late 1994, the band re-captures the original groove and spirit of the reggae vibe - when reggae appealed more to the heart and the hips, infusing it with pop undertones that strike a familiar chord with Filipino “aural palates”, not to mention their pelvic areas. BROWNMAN REVIVAL is made up of the one-drop rocksteady beats of drummer Dennis, the sensual grooves of Jao on bass, the bubbling upbeat keyboards of Kenneth, the sexy accents from percussionist Januarie, the steady “chanka” rhythms of Alphy on guitars, the wicked horn riffs of Jayson on trombone, Jojo on sax, Ambet on trumpet, capped-off by the passionate wailing of frontman Dino. Drawing heavily on contemporary reggae acts such as Big Mountain and UB40, BROWNMAN REVIVAL creatively mixes the traditional roots sound of venerated reggae icon Bob Marley, with an OPM sensibility producing a festive but sensuous strain of Lover’s Rock reggae with such vibrant energy that never fails to leave the crowds winding and grinding their sweaty bodies to the band’s euphoric reggae party...

Subject: pinoy reggae
Message: There is now massive interest in Brownman Revival thanks to its reggae take on the Eraserheads original Maling Akala. Reggae with a Pinoy flavor is the avowed music of the group and the lilting arrangement it gave Maling Akala evokes fun, fun, fun and gives a new spin to the old tune. Truth to tell listeners caught up with the beat knew they have heard the song before but couldn’t place where because it sounds so different. Now there is nothing Filipino about reggae which originated from the Caribbean but we do share the same tropical weather and lighthearted approach to life approximated by reggae and our native music.



Of course, Brownman Revival reggae is nothing like the real thing introduced to the pop charts by the great Bob Marley. The mold for Steady Lang comes from the more commercial stuff usually dished out by UB40’s Red Red Wine and Big Mountain’s Baby I Love Your Ways. It is smooth, light and very danceable. But I believe that Maling Akala was able to successfully tap into the similarities between the two regions and we were happy enough to get caught in the reggae beat.



Brownman Revival is a big group. It is composed of Dennis Concepcion on drums and back-up vocals, Jao Lanon on bass, Onard on keyboards, Januarie Sundiang on percussions, Alphy Desaville on guitars and back-up vocals, Jayson Cuevas on trombone, Jojo Antinero on sax, Ambet Abundo on trumpet and Dino Concepcion on vocals. Unlike some of the newer bands, Brownman Revival seems to know its music judging from the able handling to the reggae arrangements and the solid performances in the album.


Maling Akala is the first hit out of Steady Lang. Two other old songs were taken on a reggae trip. These are Binibini, a big hit by the Rainmakers and Ikaw Lang ang Aking Mahal, a ballad popularized by VST&Co. The originals in the album are no less inviting. These are Lintik, Ikaw Forever, Dahan Dahan, Gusto Mo Pa, Ngayong Gabi, Salarin, Jeggae and Under the Reggae Moon, a composition by Dino which sounds like it would make a very strong follow-up single to Maling Akala.

Message: "...A rare collaboration with its original singer, Pinoy rock n’ roll legend Ramon “RJ” Jacinto who played guitars a la Carlos Santana in the song. Working on the song was a special experience for the band. “We enjoyed it, and as far as we know he enjoyed it as well,” says drummer Dennis. “We were very honoured to have been given the opportunity to work with one of our idols. We just mentioned to our record label that we wanted to ‘reggae-fy’ one of our favorite RJ Jacinto songs. They contacted him and he obliged immediately. It was that simple.”"
