Manny Pacquiao's theme tune
The most unlikely moment of a surreal year for the Ragrag brothers occurred in one of the world’s great recording studios in March. They were in Los Angeles laying down a track with one of the world’s greatest boxers, Manny Pacquiao, when one of
however America’s top R&B stars interrupted them.
“So we’re teaching Manny his bit,” recalls Chris Ragrag, “and next minute who comes in? Chris Brown comes in: ‘Manny, sorry to disturb you guys, I was listening; that’s a nice song, man.’ He was there for two minutes, but nobody bothered with him, because we were trying to get the song done. The funny thing, he goes out, and after two or three minutes Manny says to me: ‘Who was that guy?’”
The globally popular Pacquiao deals with fawning celebrities on a regular basis, but for the Ragrag brothers, such encounters are freakishly novel. Due to a curious series of events, Glen, Chris and Mike – plus honorary Ragrag Norbert “Ace” Gayanilo – have recorded the world welterweight boxing champion’s new theme song, Fighting Pride, which should get its first airing when he enters the ring against Antonio Margarito in November. That will be quite a moment for the London-based quartet, who usually play cover versions of popular hits at parties and weddings.
