    Raymond Lauchengco celebrates 40 years in showbiz with an anniversary show

    Singer Raymond Lauchengco celebrates 40 years in the entertainment industry with an 80s-inspired concert entitled “Just Got Lucky” at The Theatre at Solaire on November 23, 2024, Saturday, at 8 pm. Joining him on this special show are Bituin Escalante and other surprise guests.

    Raymond says, “For all of you who’ve listened to my music, and continue to listen after all these years, let me thank you by taking you back to where it all started: the 80s!”

    The singer behind hit songs such as “I Need You Back,” “So It’s You,” “Farewell” and many more heartfelt tunes, began his career as a young stage actor of Repertory Philippines. At age 18, Raymond was cast in Viva Films’ youth-oriented fiick “Bagets” which became a huge box-office hit and remains one of Philippine cinema’s most iconic movies of all time.

    Through the years, Raymond has sealed his status as one of the country’s premiere balladeers, and a distinguished director, photographer and sculptor, and award-winning recording artist and performer.

    The concert title is taken from an upbeat song that is part of the “Bagets” soundtrack.

    Raymond guarantees that the show is going to be more than a night of nostalgia. He says, “Let’s bring back some of the best ballads, OPM, and dance tunes of that decade. Come and celebrate with me. It’ll be fun!”

    For this one-night only concert, Raymond is collaborating with writer-director Waya Gallardo and musical director Marvin Querido.
