General Santos City, Philippines
Genrhythmics as a division of the General Santos City Government Employees Performing Arts Company was created on July 13, 2005. The original members, handpicked by the Honorable City Mayor, Pedro B. Acharon, JR., are local government employees. The group’s exposures include, but not limited to, government functions and affairs, especially during state dinners for special guests and dignitaries. As such, much is expected of the group as its audience demands class, clarity of lyrics and music, fun and excitement. Its repertoire transcends era and genre. Among the well-loved and highly acclaimed renditions are contemporary and pop, rhythm and blues, alternative, smooth jazz, bossanova, mellow rock and country. GenRhythmics’s comparative advantage over other popular bands in the city is the professionalism of the member artists whose passion for music is the driving force for unparalleled performance on or off stage.

Nexxus and Ratsky


December 2, 2008, members of Genrhythmics found themselves at Ratsky - Morato, Quezon City for a benchmarking activity (the politically correct term of what was once referred as "Lakbay-Aral").

Anyway, there was a group of tennis players from Tuguegarao who were celebrating their victory over PNP in a tournament. Too much fun fueled by alcohol makes a daredevil out of anyone. Nexxus Band was playing that night. The same musical wonder who brought us "I'll Never Go (Far Away from You)" OPM. A lady from that group got up on stage and sang with the band the ever undying "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang."

Taking cue from that incident, GRX, who were already slightly intoxicated took the challenge when Nexxus dared anyone from the crowd who would dare conquer the stage next.

The rest of the story you can see in the video above. (By the way, it was Nexxus who suggested the song. I would have wanted to bleat out Through the Fire!!)
