Vicor Music Corporation released
Katawan (Body) in 1994, a compilation of songs recorded for the label by
Hagibis in the late '70s and early '80s.
Hagibis was formed as an answer to American singing group
Village People, and
Hagibis' music is similarly campy and overly dramatic, meant to provide enjoyment and smiles. Musically, they have a sound that echoes such
Village People songs as "Macho Man" and "YMCA."
Hagibis, however, doesn't have the gay sexual attitude that
Village People flaunted, and
Hagibis' music covers a variety of conventional topics, though presented in a campy manner. Hugibis' "Legs," for example, goes to dramatic lengths to discuss a woman's sexy legs. When performing live,
Hagibis was known for campy stage routines based on movements done by the Village People. The songs on this compilation contain many interesting arrangements, all infused with dramatic and energetic horn lines that weave in and around the vocals. There are no ballads on this album.
