About Meskla Uno 1978

This has got to be Guam’s best yet; for sure it is the best of the Charfauros Bros. recording studios. It is certainly a “first” in more ways than one. Here you find the largest pool ever of talented local vocalists, some of whom you know about others you have never even heard of. Here you discover the largest variety of styles, sounds and techniques all compiled into one single record album to form the widest selection of Chamorro songs. Here is MESKLA UNO the most soothing, catching and enticing mixed Chamorros album of mixed Chamorro personalities never before produced anywhere in the world including Guam.

It is nice to hear again the sound of the ever humorous, the ever popular Mike Laguana. In this MESKLA UNO one cannot deny that Mike keeps sounding better every time. Here also you get to enjoy that sweet, elegant voice of the ever beautiful Terry Rojas. A neat treat and a tribute to her people she is no doubt. But wait, don’t stop now because you are just about to meet and hear the up-and-coming stars-to-be. 

The sensational Reyes Brothers have finally come to the scene. Yes, this is the “Reyes Bros.” you have heard so much about and believe you me they are for real. They are good, this is overly apparent, and their performance here speaks well of them, the pride of their home town Talofofoville. Now, you still have to meet the fabulous duet Terry and Mike. Terry Quitugua and Mike Ada are second to none when it comes to substantive Chamorro songs. Together they stand tall and majestic, like a tower of lights among the pebbles along the seashore. They sing so good you can almost taste it. Last but not least, here is Jesse Muna who comes out strong as a bull. Jesse, as a performer, defies description. He chooses to be himself and tries not to sound like anyone else. Because he refuses to imitate, Jesse Muna is honestly and truly the only one of a kind.

CHAMORRO SONG LOVERS< you must all buy a copy of this one and only, first in a series, MESKLA UNO Chamorro song record album.
