"The music of the universe is the background of the small picture which we call music. Our sense of music, our attraction to music, shows that there is music in the depth of our being. Music is behind the working of the whole universe. Music is not only life's greatest object, but it is life itself." From: Inayat Khan

ASIN Band... The Salt Of the Earth
ASIN previously known as Salt Of the Earth in the late 70's, is a famous band in the Philippines who performs indigenous music. It was on 1983 when their vocalist had to live with different communities and muslims in Mindanao just to fully understand their way of living and express it beautifully in their songs. The vocalists in the band ASIN was a product from Mindanao and Visayas region of Philippines. It was on 1977 that they formed a group named "The Salt of Earth" , inspired from Bible verse Matthew 5:13. It was later in 1978 when they shortened their name to ASIN. "Asin" is a Visaya term used by people living in Mindanao and Visayas region. It simply refers to SALT in english. There are lots of reasons speculating why people in the Philippines love the songs of ASIN by heart. Some they said, the song is very easy to familiarize. Others said, the message in the songs are truly based on actual happenings in Mindanao. They also said, instruments are purely acoustics thus very easy to familiarize the chords. But the most beautiful part there is when people said "The songs of ASIN are the songs of our life".
