TTT | The Chongkeys
The term "Chongke" was a Philippine Slang word to refer Marijuana or Cannabis.
Hello to all my fellow music lovers! Happy new month!
It's been quite some time since I made a ttt post with my last one to be about the band Ultimate Ube and the songs that they sing as I watched them live during Rakpublika 2025. This time, I also share another band that sings in the event which is the Chongkeys. Their songs mostly falls in the Reggae genre and they also use djembe which is a West African hand drum with a goblet-shaped membranophone played with bare hands during their songs.
I also recently made a post sharing my experience on Rakpublika 2025 along with some of the bands.
Disksyonaryo (Dictionary)
It was one of their older song and just talking about some words and their meaning based on their unofficial dictionary where some of them may be interpreted with sexual meaning. The song does not have much meaning into it but its infectious rhythm makes me want to listen to the song in repeat.
Tingnan Mo (Look)
This second song on the other hand while having those infectious rhythm has also have some aggressive parts. Well this song is about how society judge people based on their appearance, particularly those that are in a band which are usually referred to be addict, sexual harasser, have brain damage and will not succeed without even looking on their selves first. Instead of judging others, what the song tells us to do is to respect one another.
Gabi ng Lagim (Night of Terror)
And for the last song, was a folk-inspired song that includes Philippine mythical creatures that are said to bring terror but in this song, they spend the night with the mythical creatures singing, dancing and partying.
And that was it for this week's #threetunetuesday post. This was a project initiated by @ablaze where everyone was free to share their favorite music every Tuesday. Thank you very much if you made it till the end and by the way, more than being an April Fools, first day of the month was the time for power up. This month marks my nineth consecutive powerup day participation, powering up another 50 hive.
Sadly, my HPUM streak was broken and the saddest part of that is it was only by 1 day and happens on second to the last day of March.
See you until next time!

Nice powering up of 50 HIVE!
Quite sad that I did not get a PUM badge by just missing a single day and it was second to the last day of the month too.
