Abra may refer to:
A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.
A cinematographer or director of photography (sometimes shortened to DP or DOP) is the chief over the camera crews working on a film, television production or other live action piece and is responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography. Some filmmakers say that the cinematographer is just the chief over the camera and lighting, and the Director of Photography is the chief over all the photography components of film, including framing, costumes, makeup, and lighting, as well as the assistant of the post producer for color correction and grading.
The cinematographer selects the camera, film stock, lens, filters, etc., to realize the scene in accordance with the intentions of the director. Relations between the cinematographer and director vary; in some instances the director will allow the cinematographer complete independence; in others, the director allows little to none, even going so far as to specify exact camera placement and lens selection. Such a level of involvement is not common once the director and cinematographer have become comfortable with each other; the director will typically convey to the cinematographer what is wanted from a scene visually, and allow the cinematographer latitude in achieving that effect.

Alfonso "Chito" Yanga Miranda, Jr. (born February 7, 1976) is a Filipino singer and songwriter and now recently a movie actor best known as one of the founding members and lead singer for the band Parokya ni Edgar.
Miranda attended grade school and high school at the Ateneo de Manila University where he met Gab Chee Kee, Vinci Montaner, Jeric Estaco, and Mikko Yap. They formed a garage band during their high school years.
The group was known in school to be class clowns. Normally in shows, they would show up in women’s clothing to entertain victims of earthquakes and typhoons and sing off-key in poetry readings.
They eventually landed the role of front act band for the locally well-known Filipino alternative rock band The Eraserheads. Later on, Buwi Meneses and schoolmate Dindin Moreno joined as bassist and drummer, respectively. When they graduated high school, Estaco and Yap decided to leave the group to pursue other interests. Shortly thereafter, Darius Semaña (lead guitar) joined to complete the sextet.
Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and with vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping, and there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses"). In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art form include the production of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."

Abra comes alive in a new self-directed video for "Pull Up." In the video, filmed in New York's Bushwick and Harlem neighborhoods, the enchanting Awful Records pop-R&B; singer lets go for a risky night of adventure. A car pulls up, Abra leans in the passenger side window, and she and a friend hop in. The track itself sets up this scene, when she sings, Pull up to your crib riding shotty, shawty — the ladies are in for a ride. Later, in a room under blue lights, Abra and two friends pour back drinks and when the buzz hits she finds herself siting on a four wheeler, facing the driver. He speeds off with the front tires in the air, and as Abra smiles at the freedom of making uninhibited decisions, her gold bottom grill sparkles under the street lights. http://www.thefader.com/2016/11/02/abra...

Chorus:
Kapag nariyan ka, bumabagal ang ikot ng mundo
Hindi kita dapat ginugusto pero natutukso
Ano man ang sabihin nila, hindi kita ipagkakaila
'Pagkat ikaw lang ang minamahal ko, oh aking diwata
(Aking diwata)
Ikaw ang pinakamaganda
Kapag minamasdan kita, parang nagmamalikmata
(Aking diwata)
Tamang hinala, di makapaniwala
Na nakita na ang pinakamakinang na tala
(Talagang hiwaga)
Walang katapat
Bagama’t pinagbawalan
Ipaglalaban ka sapagka’t
Ikaw lang ang minamahal ko
Oh aking diwata
Verse 1:
Naaalala ko pa n’ung una ka masilayan, nanghihinayang
Gustung-gusto kita kausapin,
Makilala, subalit may kaba
Kaya nahihiya lang
Sinayang, ang nakatakdang tadhana
Karapat-dapat ba na magkandarapa
Sa isang prinsesa na may delikadesa
Kesa sa gano’n baka game ka maging reyna
Date tayo, oo, ikaw at ako
Liparin natin ang iba’t-ibang parte ng mundo
Tugma pa rin kahit sabihing hindi tayo bagay
Kasi tao tayo, si Maragsa at Malumanay
Kung sabagay, karangalan kong alagaan
At pahalagahan ang natural mong kagandahan
Aminin ko man o hindi
Kapag nasa paligid ay pasimple na nangingiti
Sana kako tamaan
Chorus:
Kapag nariyan ka, bumabagal ang ikot ng mundo
Hindi kita dapat ginugusto pero natutukso
Ano man ang sabihin nila, hindi kita ipagkakaila
'Pagkat ikaw lang ang minamahal ko, oh aking diwata
(Aking diwata)
Ikaw ang pinakamaganda
Kapag minamasdan kita, parang nagmamalikmata
(Aking diwata)
Tamang hinala, di makapaniwala
Na nakita na ang pinakamakinang na tala
(Talagang hiwaga)
Walang katapat
Bagama’t pinagbawalan
Ipaglalaban ka sapagka’t
Ikaw lang ang minamahal ko
Oh aking diwata
Verse 2:
Hanggang sa nagkakilala muli
At unti-unti nakikilala, munti
Pang tumitiklop na parang makahiya
Naglakas loob ah, d’yan sa kaliwa
Ang daming pumipila, daig pa’ng MRT
Pero diba’t sa pag-ibig mas kabit ‘pag less than three
Anong sagot, p’ede mo ‘kong tanungin
May tanong ako sa’yo, p’ede mo bang sagutin
Sana oo na lang din
Susubukang abutin
Panaginip lang kita, kaya susubuking antukin
Oras na maghawak kamay baka bigla kang alukin
Walang hiling na kapalit, gusto lang kitang mahalin
Ikaw ang aking laging nais na makapiling
Hindi Maria Clara kundi Maria Makiling
Binibining napakaganda at wagas
Walang wakas, samahan mo ko, sabay tayong mangarap nang mataas
Chorus:
Kapag nariyan ka, bumabagal ang ikot ng mundo
Hindi kita dapat ginugusto pero natutukso
Ano man ang sabihin nila, hindi kita ipagkakaila
'Pagkat ikaw lang ang minamahal ko, oh aking diwata
Verse 3 (Chito Miranda):
N’ung nakita ko s’ya, ‘di makapaniwala
Sa taglay n’yang ganda, tinamaan din ako
Teka bakit ganito, ba’t napaparap ako
‘Di ba sabi ko sa’yo, ‘wag mo na akong isama
Para ‘kong nasilaw sa kasama mong diwata
Ngayon alam ko na kung ba’t nasisiraan ka nang ulo
Napapakanta ka na lang na parang ganito
Chorus:
Kapag nariyan ka, bumabagal ang ikot ng mundo
Hindi kita dapat ginugusto pero natutukso
Ano man ang sabihin nila, hindi kita ipagkakaila
'Pagka’t ikaw lang ang minamahal ko, oh aking diwata
(Aking diwata)
Ikaw ang pinakamaganda
Kapag minamasdan kita, parang nagmamalikmata
(Aking diwata)
Tamang hinala, ‘di makapaniwala
Na nakita na ang pinakamakinang na tala
(Talagang hiwaga)
Walang katapat
Bagama’t pinagbawalan
Ipaglalaban ka sapagka’t
Ikaw lang ang minamahal ko
Oh aking diwata
