This special release is dedicated to the Hurao Academy of Guam for all of their awesome work with Guam's youth and adults! Please visit them and help out if you can! Also, become a facebook fan! The last song is also a throw back for those of you who remember back when KC was in his prime..

Episode 11: Welcome to 2010

Buenas,

It's been a few months since the last episode, and in that time there's been much controversy in the Marianas due to the upcoming military buildup. To learn more about the DEIS, visit www.guambuildupeis.com. For some opinions and thoughts countering the DEIS, see www.weareguahan.com; and to see what a local leader has to say about the matter, visit Senator Ben Pangelinan's website at www.SenBenP.com. There is also some information online at the KUAM, PDN, and Marianas Variety websites. Also, Isla-63 now has a live webcast that you can listen to on the KUAM website. I hope you all enjoy the music, and thank you for the continued support!!

Episode 9: Vid Request & Reclaim Guahan Rally

Hafa Adai Everyone,

I'm sorry for the delay on getting this video out, though I hope you all enjoy it just the same. Last year, I saw a video on YouTube with a man who sang "Malak Na Pution Tasi" and "I Pution". I'm unable to find the video now, as hit has been removed from youtube, and would very much like to hear it again. If you or someone you know has/made this video, please let me know...Also, this coming Saturday (again, sorry for the short notice) there is a rally in Skinner's Plaza at 2pm. It's called Reclaim Guahan: Chule' Tatte Guahan, and is a call for action among our people in the face of our changing island. I truly wish I could be there, but for those of you who can, please go and show your support.

Episode 8: For Our People Off-Island

This episode is dedicated to those of us (myself included) that are away from home, either relocated to the states, serving in the military, or anywhere else your lives may have taken you. Let these songs remind all of you that no matter where you are in the world, the blood that runs through your veins is the blood of a Chamorro, and we will always have our Culture, Traditions, Language, and Values to carry with us. Being away from home should not and does not take away from our identity as Chamorros, and we must come together to assure that this holds true in the future.

In This Episode
Gurupun Minagof - Mike Duenas
Chamorun Norhtern California - John "JQ" Quintanilla

A special thank you to all the viewers on YouTube; over 6500 views and counting!
