Asked what he considered to be his most defining works, "Lean, the musical which we staged in '97 and the live album we recorded, also in UP, in 1994," Gary Granada replied, "without doubt." Most of the few hundred Filipinos that recognize his name know him to be the author of OPM classics Kahit Konti, Salamat Musika, Tagumpay Nating Lahat, Mabuti Pa Sila or Barangay Ginebra - none of which is included in the album that he regards as his personal best. His few dozen true fans know better.
