Kuya Ado is the founder of Alicia Musika Kawayan. According to him, he grew up turning to music to cope with his difficult family life. He wanted to have a musical instrument of his own but couldn't buy one because they didn't really have any money.
One day, his father came home drunk (or mad
) and threw some bamboo tubes in the ground. The impact on the floor gave off an interesting sound. That gave Kuya Ado the idea that they can be used to produce music. If he can't buy a musical instrument, he'd make one himself.
Kuya Ado made the instruments from scratch. He cuts the bamboo into long and short plates (or tubes), each one a specific length to bring out the appropriate tune. He also makes the sticks used to hit them. The result is a beautiful melody that everybody can enjoy.
