ISHA live @ Shangri-la Mall, Mandaluyong, 7pm
March 18, 2006please come to my performance on march 24, 7 pm at the shangri-la mall in mandaluyong. Candid Records calls the event “coffee, tea and jazz.” it’s one of my few public and high-profile performances, and one of my even fewer performances with my wonderfully gifted band The Look (bassist simon tan, drummer jayvee torres, and guitarist edwin vergara). i will sing songs from my “katakataka” album and some new originals i’m working on as well as some old favorites.
took part in the never again! concert for freedom on thursday march 16, organized by respected columnist conrad de quiros. i sang a beautiful bob dylan song, “with god on our side,” that i fell in love with the weekend before…hugs and kisses to cooky chua who personally invited me to perform.
i am busy with scoring and writing projects. just enough to keep me famous in the proper dosage. i know i am becoming famous because people recognize me now even if i don’t have any makeup on. it’s scary and fascinating! scary because i know i will be forgotten one day, and i have yet to meet someone who is proud to be forgotten. fascinating because strangers can actually care about a fellow stranger on the strength of one song. or one album.
thank you candid records and i.ph for this website.
