Eight-piece reggae collective We Got brings some island-loving vibe in the time of social distancing with its debut single “Lihim Na Pagtingin.” It is produced by Raymund Marasigan and released by Sony Music Philippines.
A veteran musician, multi-instrumentalist and overall record producer, Marasigan is part of several other bands and projects including The Eraserheads, Sandwich, Pedicab, Cambio, Assembly Generals, Ultra Combo, Basement Lung and Squid9. We Got vocalist and guitarist Mack de la Cruz shared, “Sir Raymund Marasigan is a legendary icon of our generation.”
“Working with him is even beyond our imagination,” de la Cruz said of Marasigan. “He’s very professional, patient, cool, innovative and has a very wild and crazy mind. His ideas are simply out of this world.”
“He never looked down on us,” the We Got vocalist and guitarist continued. “He never failed to boost our confidence, taught so many things which we surely value so much.”
De la Cruz’s bandmates are Makoy Quebral on rhythm guitars and backup vocals, Nam Reput on bass, CJ Bernardo on percussions, Thoper Laroco on drums, Melvin Bernardo on saxophone, Anthony “Tonton” Otoc on trumphet, John Rafael Morales on trombone. Marasigan praises the members of the band particularly their work ethic.
“We Got is a family,” Marasigan said. “Working with them is like going to a family excursion at the beach especially when they bring delicious home cooked meals to pre-production and recording and we worked on capturing that vibe.”

“Lihim Na Pagtingin” was mixed and mastered at Sunny Sound Studios in Cubao, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Serenading music enthusiasts with a mix of steady, groovy beat and a horn section straight from a summer retreat, the laid-back tune pertains to two individuals who have been friends for the longest time, and are secretly in love with each other.
“Finally, courage took over and they finally let their feelings out,” de la Cruz shared. “Love wins.”
