Sitti Navarro or simply Sitti
is one of the Philippines' newest young singers best known for her bossa
nova singing style which highlights her uniquely soothing voice and strikingly
beautiful persona. Debuting only in 2006, she first swept the nation with
a string of bossa-style cover songs and has since become a full-fledged concert
performer and certified recording artist with 4 best-selling albums to her
name: Cafe Bossa (2006, Double Platinum), Sitti Live! (2007,
Gold), Sitti In The Mix (2007), and My Bossa Nova (2007). Favorite
Sitti hits include: Girl From Ipanema, Tattooed On My Mind,
At 17, Hey Look At The Sun, I Didn't Know I Was Looking
For Love, Invisible War, One Note Samba, Soft Melody,
You On My Mind, Lady Wants To Know, Close To You/Half A
Minute, Samba Song, Bridges, Mas Que Nada,
Wave, Fly Me To The Moon, and Para Sa Akin.
Joey Albert is a favorite
concert performer of many Filipinos and best known for her string of Original
Pilipino Music (OPM) hits such as Points of View (with Pops Fernandez),
Yakapin Mo Ako, Kumukutikutitap, Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin,
I Remember The Boy, Iisa Pa Lamang, Sa Iyo Lamang,
Million Miles Away, and most especially her hauntingly beautiful rendition
of the Louie Ocampo original and monster hit Tell Me, a certified
Gold Record for which she was awarded the prestigious 1985 Cecil Awards'
Best Female Recording Artist. Tell Me was such a colossal hit that
it topped the charts as a remake by the Side A Band in 1998 and was also
recorded by American singer-composer David Pomeranz in 2000. "I Remember
The Boy" was a revival hit by Lea Salonga. Many of Joey's songs have been
performed countless times and immortalized by popular recording artists of
different generations.
David Pomeranz is an American singer,
composer, lyricist, and writer for musical theatre, who has endeared himself
to Filipinos in the Philippines and all over the world with hit classics
including Trying to Get the Feeling Again, The Old Songs, (both
recorded by Barry Manilow), King and Queen of Hearts, Got To Believe
in Magic (from the 1982 Scott Baio hit movie "Zapped"), Born For You
and It's In Everyone Of Us (featured in the Tom Hanks film Big
and later at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He endeared
himself more to the Filipinos when he performed and recorded the Joey
Albert-Louie Ocampo original love song Tell Me and the Filipino Christmas
classic Pasko Na Sinta Ko. In an exciting and varied career spanning
a wide range of musical media, David Pomeranz's multi-platinum selling songs,
recordings and concert performances have delighted and inspired millions
all over the world.
To open the show is dynamic new artist
Lara Avengoza, whose debut CD "Listen" was recently launched in a
solo concert before a jampacked crowd at the Celebrity Center in Hollywood,
California. Her stunning performance earned rave reviews from the local media.
And as one writer put it, she has "convinced the music community's talent
watchers that she has what it takes to be a major performer, if not a star."
