Answer
THIS IS NOT AMERIKA was performed by LOKAL BROWN, an experimental "super group" formed by ED FORMOSO in 1988. It was an all-star band composed of PENDONG ABAN, LOLITA CARBON & the late CESAR "SARO" BANARES of ASIN, CHICOY PURA & BINKY LAMPANO among others. They released an album back in 1989.

I have been looking for a copy of the song for a long time but I can't find one. I believe it is rare. But don't worry, I'll ask some of my friends, baka they have a copy. I'm not promising anything, though. As for its lyrics, I still have to find them. Write again so I can be reminded.

Maraming salamat po!!
