It's truly heartwarming to witness the continuation of musical tradition and the honoring of family legacies through music. Angela Francisco Paet's rendition of "Esta I Finatai-Hu" by +Antonette Quitugua, accompanied by her husband Jye Paet on guitar and son Koen Paet on the piano, is a beautiful testament to the power of family collaboration in music.
The late +Antonette Quitugua's contributions to Chamorro music are undoubtedly significant, with classics like “Munga ma Sangan” and many more. +Antonette was a huge supporter for Dåndan Mariånas and had always wanted Angela to be featured on the program. Her encouragement for Angela to pursue her musical talents and create an album featuring her songs highlights the deep bond and support within the family.
This tribute not only celebrates the musical talents of Angela Francisco Paet and her family but also honors the legacy of +Antonette Quitugua, a pioneer in Chamorro music whose influence continues to resonate through the generations. Biba Dåndan Mariånas!!!
