LEADING telecommunications provider Globe treated the public with two concerts in a recent weekend that showcased the best emerging local artists in the music scene.
Both music events—“Live Street: Make Snow Possible” and “Sundown Sessions”—were attended by more than a thousand OPM lovers who chilled the night out with their friends and families.
Globe Live and Bonifacio High Street, together with Huawei, kicked off the holiday season with “Live Street…” on December 14, which created a white Christmas atmosphere as audiences enjoyed the sounds of IV of Spades, Karencitta, Pinopela, Rouge and Manila String Machine.
Cebu’s Karencitta opened the show with her groovy sounds that set the mood for a long night of OPM music. She sang her hits June and “Cebuana,” as well as her own rendition of “Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit.”
Pinopela, a vocal group who won the top prize at the international A Cappella Championships in Singapore in 2016, made the concert-goers relaxed with their perfect voice blending when they sang hits such as “Ikaw Nga,” “Sirena” and Do You Hear What I Hear? The group also dished out Christmas songs such as their medley of Winter Wonderland, Let It Snow and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.
All-girl rock band Rouge collaborated with Manila String Machine as they performed their own rendition of popular Christmas hits such as Last Christmas, Christmas in Our Hearts, “Pasko Na, Sinta Ko,” and Winter Wonderland, to name a few.
The trio of Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga and Badjao de Castro—collectively known as IV of Spades—closed the festivities. The band captured the hearts of the audience that night as they sang their hits, including “Mundo.”
The OPM beats continued the next day as Globe and Spotify presented the Sundown Sessions at the Bonifacio High Street Activity Center. Concertgoers flocked to the venue with their loved ones and enjoyed performances from BP Valenzuela, She’s Only Sixteen, Oh! Flamingo and Bea Lorenzo. Plus, they won special prizes from Globe Postpaid and Spotify.
Elements Music Camp artist Bea Lorenzo kicked off the show as she started with her original composition Stars. She also sang “Ili (Hush)”and Golden.
Next up was indie electronic pop artist BP Valenzuela. The audience got to relax and chill out to her soulful performance of Even If You Asked Me, All I Need and Where I’m Calling From.
Pop-rock indie band She’s Only Sixteen then took the stage with their wonderful set, which consisted of Magic, Dying to Meet You and Leave Me Out of It got everyone bobbing their heads and singing along.
