Try as he may to avoid performing in public, however, music and his love for it inevitably drew him to the stage. In 1982, beginning in little known folk houses and bars to underground watering holes, Noel steadily made a name for himself in the local music scene.
In the year 1987, Noel, Rene Boncocan, and Rom Dongeto formed the group Buklod. Buklod was more than just a music group, with their albums oriented toward social, political, and cultural issues. The group came out with three albums -- "Bukid at Buhay," "Tatsulok," and "Sa Kandungan ng Kalikasan,” – each album espousing the advocacies of the group from the plight of the peasant farmers, to the protection of human rights, and to the conservation of the environment.
When the group disbanded, Noel set out on his own, playing at music bars and singing at private events. The years saw the creation of a loyal following that sought him out, wherever he played. He also began recording his solo albums. To date he has released 6 solo albums, 4 of which were produced by the Jesuit Music Ministry, 1 by Ballyhoo Records, and the latest by Universal Records.
Noel has also performed around and out of the country, doing concerts and performances in france, belgium, germany, switzerland, while his many advocacies have brought him to brazil, india, kenya, thailand, and hong kong, among others.
Over the years Noel has written songs for the causes he believes in and matters close to his heart. He has also written songs for other artists. Some of his songs have also found their way into movies, the most recent of which was “Ang Buhay Nga Naman” for the indie film by Soxie Topacio, “Ded Na Si Lolo.” “Ded Na Si Lolo” is also the Philippine entry into the 2010 Academy Awards.
Noel has also dabbled in theatre, as musical director, composer, or actor. He also teaches at the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA), imparting his years of experience in workshops aimed at educating the younger generations on the importance of theatre.
Noel has had a long journey from being the shy boy who used to run from the audience, to the performer who never fails to awe and mesmerise his audience with his soulful voice and heartfelt music.
With almost 20 years of being a performer, and an untold number of years as a lover of music, Noel is still doing what he does best – writing music, and singing about the things that matter most to him. Years from now there is no doubt that Noel will still be doing these, and doing them well.
Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok KO
Noel Cabangon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sana'y di tayo magbago
Kailan man nasaan ma'y
Ito ang pangarap ko
Makuha mo pa kayang
Ako'y hagkan at yakapin oh
Hanggang sa pagtanda natin
Ako pa kaya'y ibigin mo
Kung maputi na ang buhok ko
Pagdating ng araw
Ang 'yong buhok ay puputi na rin
Sabay tayong mangangarap
Ng nakaraan sa'tin
Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik natin hmm
Ipapaalala ko sa'yo
Ang aking pangako
Na ang pag-ibig ko'y laging sa'yo
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko oh
Na na na na na na
Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik natin hmm
Ipapaalala ko sa'yo
Ang aking pangako
Na ang pag-ibig ko'y laging sa'yo
Kahit maputi
Kahit maputi
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko
The song "Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko" by Noel Cabangon reflects the timeless nature of love and the desire for true and lasting companionship. The lyrics express a sense of hope for love to remain strong even as the years pass and the physical appearance changes. The song begins by expressing the hope that even as the two people in the relationship grow old, they will not change and that the dream of being held in each other's arms will remain a reality throughout their lives. The next lines of the song express the singer's concern about whether or not they will still be loved even when their hair turns grey or when they become old. The chorus, which is repeated several times throughout the song, expresses the assurance that regardless of the passage of time, the love will still endure, no matter how much their hair has turned grey.
The second verse expresses the idea that, as the years go by, the two people in the relationship will continue to reminisce about the past and treasure their memories together. The verse also contains the idea that the singer's promise to love their partner will remain true through the ups and downs of their relationship, through thick and thin. The chorus is repeated again in the last few lines of the song, along with a harmonica solo, emphasizing the importance of love that endures and survives throughout the years.
Overall, the song is an ode to love that lasts a lifetime, expressing the hope that the two people in the relationship will remain faithful to each other and that their love will stand the test of time. It is a song that touches on universal themes of aging, love, and companionship, and resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds.
