This book is a milestone in Philippine Studies, written by a music-cultural insider with a wide knowledge about recent theories in mass communication and an engaging, virtuosic voice...While the irreverent, novel, fl ashy, and overstated style has been dismissed by idealistic, elitist critics, Gabrillo redeems it by exploring the cultural intimacies that the signs and codes make in the culture of the jolo (underclass), who experience it for its liberatory pragmatic effect...Pop Convergence illuminates the pleasurable, interpretive, and often poetic stance vis-a-vis what seems trivial as a subject matter but which is not, warranting its inclusion as a must-have in any library. * José S. Buenconsejo, Professor of Musicology, University of the Philippines *
