Background
In 2006, Viva Records began conceptualizing a project to bring back the Manila Sound hit songs that was largely popular in the country during the 1970s. Viva made a shortlist of Filipino bands that could join the project, which was welcomed with enthusiasm by the bands.
According to the press release of Viva for the album:
| “ | The Best of Manila Sound: Hopia, Mani, Popcorn is not your usual tribute album. It doesn't pay tribute to the music of just one artist or band, but to the music of a whole generation. | ” |
The album is sponsored by DWTM Magic 89.9, Information Gateway, GMA-7, Manila Bulletin and MYX.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
