Nityalila is an independent
group of five Filipino musicians
advocating Filipino pride, human
rights, and environmental issues
through music and the arts. The
group was formed in 2003 by
singer-songwriter and music
producer Nityalila Saulo.
Joining her on stage are members
Miko Aguilar on bass, Sandy
Baliong on drums, Tim Cada on
guitars, and Vaishnava on
percussion.
In its six years of existence,
the group has performed
regularly on both local and
international stages that
support their advocacies, such
as Fete de la Musique, Arts and
Music Festival, Earth Day
Concert Series, Sunrise Music
Festival, Peace Camp Concert, UP
Fair, NU107 Concert Series,
Jam88.3 Concert Series, CCP
Concert Series, The Taiwan Yoga
Festival and in April of this
year at The Bitan Music Festival
in Taiwan. The group has also
produced three all-original
albums, Nityalila Bootleg
released in 2003 by Nityalila in
partnership with Rock Radio
Cafe, Uno Jornal released in
2005 by independent label Bagani
Music, and Ako’y Isang Pinay
released in 2007 by Manna
Records in partnership with
Universal Records.
Recently, Nityalila Saulo was
nominated for Best Performance
by a New Female Recording Artist
at the 2008 Awit Awards, a
prestigious award-giving body
spearheaded by PARI (The
Philippine Association of the
Record Industry, Inc.), which
recognizes Filipino performing
artists and people behind the
making of Filipino recorded
music.
Nityalila was born out of the
realization that artists and
musicians have “powers” to
empower, educate, and inspire
people, especially youth, to
embrace our own culture and from
there, to create original art
and music.
