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:
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
