Noel Cabangon, one of the Philippines' most respected singer-songwriters around today, with his single Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko. One of those bright and touching love songs from the Philippines, “Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko” (Even When My Hair Goes White) was composed by the Filipino composer Rey Valera in1977, and became part of what was called the Manila Sound genre. The genre was at its height in the early 1970s and got out of style in the early 80s, as it probably became an escape for Filipinos to forget the dark side of the Marcos regime.
Such songs show a glimpse of “damdaming Pilipino” as it also was so in the Kundiman genre. This particular rendition of the song was sung by Noel Cabangon.
