Alliance Alumni | October 29, 2011

At the last NWFASA Meeting/Leadership Conference, a few Alumni stopped by to share their stories and words of wisdom. They were founders, thinkers, and overall leaders during the first decade of the NWFASA.

Clockwise from top left: Kuya Jeff Ocampo (WSU FASA, KUYAS), Kuya JoJo Gaon (WSU FASA, KUYAS), Rosie Rimando (WSU FASA), Kuya Freedom Siyam (WSU FASA, KUYAS), Ian “Daps” Dapiaoen (UW FASA), & Patrick Villaflores (PSU KAIBIGAN).

Small addition to this. Janelle Quibuyen (SCCC, Anakbayan Seattle) was also on the panel and Ian “Daps1” Dapiaoen was also a member of Anakbayan Seattle.

Fun times over the weekend, (re)connecting with youth and students dedicated to continuing a legacy birthed out of necessity.

We stumbled across this video last night. I remember when they shot this in 2004. I barely knew Geo and I didn’t know Saba at all. The Seattle Hip Hop scene was TINY! It was crazy cause some local artists were shooting a music VIDEO!!! That shit was unheard of. The first time I ever bumped them, my homie Gabriel Teodros came down to visit me in Olympia where I was going to college. He played me their album before it dropped. I remember TRIPPING that some artists from Seattle made an album that good. The album would go on to frame a good portion of my college experience and affirmed a love for Seattle and pride in our music scene. Their CD release party had about 60 people there, all homies. Amazing to think of how far our city has come in 7 years.

Ha…5 years ago I was tryin to make myself useful to the group and Marcsui was like “why don’t you put this video up on youtube”. I also remember this video shoot (I’m in there briefly), then bouncing to go to Pista Sa Nayon.
