  • Revisit the timeless appeal of Rivermaya’s Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90

    Revisit the timeless appeal of Rivermaya’s Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90

    A top-tier collection of the band’s most iconic alt-rock anthems, the compilation album is the go-to playlist to hype OPM fans for their reunion concert on February 17, 2024, at the SMDC Festival Grounds!

    With timeless pop-rock anthems that cut across generational lines, Rivermaya has easily cemented their place as one of the most important Filipino bands of all time. Their songs have served their purpose as great anchors for intimate conversations and as a source of comfort for every Filipino yearning for music they can call home.

    More than their wistful and sometimes introspective reflections on love, pain, freedom, and youth, Rivermaya penned music with a mix of unwavering earnestness and vulnerability, capturing the essence of everyday life in nuanced but relatable terms.

    The band’s iconic lineup from 1994 to 1998, which includes Bamboo Mañalac, Mark Escueta, Nathan Azarcon, and Rico Blanco has produced some of the most enduring classics in Pinoy rock. From the chest-thumping sing-alongs of “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita,” “Elesi,” and “Ulan” to the stadium-sized glory of “Awit Ng Kabataan” and “Kisapmata,” from the melancholic balladry of “If,” “Panahon Na Naman,” and “214” to the cult appeal of “Bring Me Down” and “Luha,” the popular four-piece act achieved commercial success while delivering groundbreaking cultural impact and artistic vision in equal measure—something that has proven to be elusive, even among their contemporaries in the field.

    Their legacy, which shaped the ever-fickle pop culture of the ‘90s with their distinct brand of eloquence and charm, is fully captured in their essential Rivermaya – Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90 album, which chronicles the biggest hits of their formative years as well as the underrated tunes that still hold merit up to this day. Featuring twelve of their most iconic songs and two remixes, the compilation album gives listeners a complete picture of the band’s music: fearless in its humanity and imperfection, but smugly cool in portraying tenderness, chaos, and adventurousness in situations that don’t always feel like they’re made for the movies. It’s as real as it gets.

    “There are powerful messages in the songs, for those who need to hear them,” drummer Mark Escueta reflects on the compilation album’s intrinsic appeal. “Overall, it’s fun to listen to the songs, even the sad ones. We’re honored that we get to share our music and inspire people on a personal, intimate level. We no longer own these songs; they belong to anyone who dares to wholeheartedly embrace them and still emerge whole from the process. It’s everyone’s songs now.”

    With Mañalac, Escueta, Azarcon, and Blanco headlining a reunion concert on February 17, 2024, at the SMDC Festival Grounds, Rivermaya’s Greatest Hits record serves not only as a convincing argument for the band’s inimitable genius but also as a guide to the immortal music that’s so deeply ingrained in Pinoy collective consciousness. For long-time fans who would want to deep-dive into the band’s discography and review their career-defining ‘karaoke’ jams, this compilation album is the way to go for the essential no-skips fodder.

    Here’s the tracklist to get you started:

    1. Hinahanap-hanap Kita
    2. Ulan
    3. 214
    4. Elesi
    5. Himala
    6. Awit Ng Kabataan
    7. If
    8. Kisapmata
    9. Panahon Na Naman
    10. Kung Ayaw Mo, Huwag Mo
    11. Bring Me Down
    12. Luha
    13. 214 (Tripnotic Mix)
    14. Kisapmata (Mayhem Mix)

    Rivermaya – Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90 is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

    The original lineup, composed of Bamboo Mañalac, Rico Blanco, Nathan Azarcon, and Mark Escueta, stages a one-night-only reunion concert produced by Live Nation Philippines. Dubbed ‘Rivermaya The Reunion,’ the iconic pop-rock outfit will be celebrating the unparalleled Rivermaya legacy with a highly anticipated set featuring some of their greatest hits and rarities. Tickets are available on the Live Nation Philippines website and SM Tickets outlets.

  • The UP Concert Chorus returns on Feb. 17 for “Sama-Sama Together Again”

    The UP Concert Chorus returns on Feb. 17 for “Sama-Sama Together Again”

    Due to insistent public demand, the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus (UPCC), or simply Korus, returns to the UP Theater on February 17, 2024 (Saturday) for “Sama-Sama Together Again” — a repeat of their sold-out 60th anniversary show. This year’s show is made more special as past and present UPCC members are singing together to raise funds for various worthy causes. UP Concert Chorus Alumni Association (UPCCAA) President Atty. Dot Gancayco says, “The proceeds will fund the various socio-civic activities of the UPCCAA, the establishment of a formal UPCCAA choir, and help defray the costs of the current UPCC members as they represent the Philippines in their 25th International Goodwill and Cultural Concert Tour in 2024.”

    Followers of the beloved university choir will recall that 2023’s “Sama-Sama Together” marked 60 years of the UPCC with tunes of various musical genres such as liturgical, classical, opera, Filipino folk, Broadway and pop, and songs performed in UPCC’s trademark choreographed a capella. Rave reviews poured in with no less than National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab a.k.a. Mr. C describing the concert as “unparalleled.” Mr. C. explains, “Alumni homecomings are a dime a dozen and can wield thousands of participants, but the UPCC is unique. They all sing, move in unison, dance in choreographed splendor and have fun. Pati the audience had fun. And the tradition continues.”

    The upcoming concert brings back all six decades of UPCC batches—whose ages range from their teens to their 80s—including singer-comedienne Nanette Inventor, past conductors Dr. Joel Navarro and Dr. Ed Manguiat, and current UPCC conductor Prof. Jai Aracama, among many other illustrious UPCC alumni.

    UPCC alumnus Rico M. Mortel, who is directing “Sama-Sama Together Again”, says “This year, we are standing for the continuation of the legacy of excellence and creativity in the next generation of UPCC performers. The alumni will surely return to the stage with the same gusto and enthusiasm, but the current batch will shine even brighter this time around.”

    “Sama-Sama Together Again” Concert Chairperson Atty. Shaina Ramirez encourages UPCC friends to buy their tickets early. She says, “The repeat is also for those who were not able to watch last year because the concert sold out three weeks before the show date.”

    Direk Rico adds, “This show is really for those folks who missed it (both the audience and the performers) the last time and could not wait for another five years or so to see the UPCC alumni take the stage again. I think it will be even better the second time around.”

    Ticket may be purchased at https://upconcertchorusalumni.helixpay.ph/

  • Ebe Dancel Reschedules ‘Dramachine’ 20th Anniversary Show at 123 Block to February 3rd

    Ebe Dancel Reschedules ‘Dramachine’ 20th Anniversary Show at 123 Block to February 3rd

    All good things don’t come easy. Or in the case of EBE DANCEL’s highly anticipated 20th anniversary celebration of Sugarfree’s sophomore release Dramachine, great things need a tad more time to finally be right.

    Multi-awarded and critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, Ebe Dancel, took to social media yesterday and announced that due to personal health reasons, the show – originally slated for a January 26 date – would be rescheduled a little over a week later. Though it was an unexpected announcement, excited fans were supportive and quick to wish Dancel a speedy recovery.

    It was two decades ago, that a collection of songs was released by a band that was steadily rising to the top, yet still unaware of the impact that the album would have on both music fans and the overall landscape of local music. Songs that simply were painfully honest, melodically soaring, and lyrically on-point in capturing the sentiments and emotions of a generation that was going through the very same aches of growing up its chief songwriter was going through.

    The band was Sugarfree. At the helm was its chief songwriter Ebe Dancel, and that album was Dramachine.

    Now an accomplished solo artist with a ton more OPM classics under his belt, Dancel will be taking a trip down memory lane and will be treating fans to a night of nostalgia and bittersweet anthems that will surely have audiences singing along (and maybe even shedding a few tears…).

    Featuring an impressive lineup of songs in Dancel’s extensive repertoire of hits and favorites, the celebrated album will be performed in its entirety, including standout hit singles like “Prom,” “Hari Ng Sablay,” fan faves like “Kwentuhan” and tearjerking anthems like “Kandila,” “Tulog Na” and “Kwarto” among others. Dancel will be joined by an impressive cast of musicians, including former Sugarfree drummer Mitch Singson. Jam Quijano will be opening the evening as well.

    Asked if he had any inkling during the album’s creation that those songs would forever resonate with listeners decades later, Dancel humbly states: “I don’t think I have an answer for that – they were just songs written by an average guy about everyday life… I never thought of the songs to be arena songs or anthems – I just made sure it was something I could sing along to.”

    When further asked how the creative process for Dramachine was, Dancel shares: “I remember we were touring almost every day for weeks – we’d be in the studio writing and recording, then rush to a gig in the evening and would come back to the studio after to see what we could finish. It was fun, and because we were young, we could bounce back from anything… and it was produced by Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala, who gave us the freedom to do what we wanted.”

    Truly, this is a show that no serious die-hard would want to miss. Presented by BALCONY ENTERTAINMENT, tickets for the show are now available online via event partner BACKSPACER RECORDS (https://bit.ly/dramachine20), but they’re going fast – regular tickets are at PHP 1,200.00 and special tickets which include the vinyl and official merchandise are still available at PHP 3,300+.

    “It’s a celebration of the album that introduced us to the whole country,” Dancel says when asked what fans can expect from the show. “Come for the songs and the memories – eat, drink, and sing-along; throughout the years, the fans are still what keeps me in the industry… this show will also kick off my 25th year in the business: I am eternally grateful that there are a lot of reasons for all of us to celebrate.”

    Super Junior’s Yesung Kickstarts the K-Concert Scene in 2024 with “Unfading Sense” in Manila

    The K-concert scene in the Philippines got the best start with a captivating show from one of K-Pop’s best vocalists, Yesung, leading the year’s live events.

    Super Junior’s Yesung started the 2024 K-concert scene here in the Philippines as he performed for one special night at the New Frontier Theater for the YESUNG SOLO CONCERT ‘UNFADING SENSE’ IN MANILA last January 6, 2024.

    Yesung

    The night began with ELFs passionately singing along to “Song for You” by Super Junior, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening with Yesung.

    Opening the show with the enchanting “Scented Things,” Yesung captivated the audience, creating a beautiful start to a memorable night. The melancholic melodies of “Forenever” and “Silhouette” filled the venue, showcasing his versatile vocal prowess.

    In his first ment, the Super Junior expressed happiness, greeting PH ELFs warmly. He followed with the soulful “No More Love” and the heart-fluttering performance of “Butterfly.” “Moment” marked a truly cherishable part of the night.

    Transitioning to a lighter mood with “Floral Sense,” Yesung, now wearing specs, continued brightening the atmosphere with “Beautiful.” The second ment was filled with heartfelt moments, leading to the slowed-down rendition of “4 Seasons” and the lively crowd engagement during his “HO” performance, which was his song featuring NCT’s Mark Lee.

    Yesung took a sentimental turn with “Like Us” and the nostalgic “It Has to Be You” from the Korean drama, Cinderella’s Sister. The emotional journey continued with “Bear Hug” and the intense electric guitar sounds of “Lost Heart (Corazon Perdido)”.

    In the third ment, Yesung playfully interacted with his fans, expressing admiration for the energetic crowd, also playfully mentioning to keep their eyes on him and not on their phones all the time. He also hinted at the possibility of returning this year in Manila.

    A fan-made VCR featuring Yesung’s photocards and mini doll and Super Junior’s lightstick at iconic Philippine locations added a personal touch to the concert experience. He then revisited “Like Us” and serenaded the crowd with “Together,” accompanied by visuals of his beloved dogs, Kkoming and Melo. He concluded the night with his last song “I Am”.

    As Yesung bid farewell, the concert successfully inaugurated the 2024 K-Pop events in the country, leaving ELFs with anticipation for more. His playful hint about a potential return added an extra layer of excitement, promising more memorable concerts this year.
