Kabaryo UnoTv's video: Rodolfo Laxamana aka original Totoy Bato

Totoy Bato real name: Rodolfo Laxamana is Pampanga’s foremost minstrel man, an itinerant singer of bawdy Kapampangan ballads, folk songs and English pop hits reworked with Kapampangan lyrics. A legendary name in the local music scene, Totoy Bato, accompanied only by his guitar, sings just about everything: from his favorite Kapampangan places, about love gone wrong, the loneliness of a Saudi worker to the wayward lives of OFW’s. When he belts a song in a familiar style that harkens back to the “polosas” of yore, Totoy doesn’t just sing the lyrics but also speaks the truth, often sugarcoating it with his seeming flippance and frivolity. That’s what makes his music so appealing, a spoonful of humor does make the medicine go down. by Alex R. Castro on http://mekeniman.blogspot.com.au/ I hope one day someone will produce a record, of all his original songs and, be recognized as one of Pampanga's icon.
