Pop is definitely my favourite but one type of music that is special to me is classical/gospel/opera especially when injected with popular tunes and contemporary sound. Think Il Divo, Vanessa-Mae, Enya and the Vienna Boys Choir. I like listening to their version of Enya’s Only Time kahit 24/7 pa itong ipatugtog. Feeling ko kasi ay parang lumulutang ako sa hangin o kaya ay nakasuot ng long gown at rumarampa sa Evening Gown competition ng Miss Universe. Hahaha!
Dream ko siyempre na marinig ang Loboc Children’s Choir of Bohol to do a record tapos meron din version ng pop songs. We’ve heard how good they are in singing, read: world class. Twice na akong nakapunta sa Loboc but everytime we went there palaging wala ang mga bata. Last time eh nasa Beijing daw sila nagko-concert. Ang taray! Kahit yung friend kong si Unique na resident na rin ng Bohol ay naiiyak everytime naririnig ang Loboc Children’s Choir kung kumanta. Siguro emotera lang talaga ang friend ko but I’ve seen them perform on tv and totoo naman talagang parang boses ng mga anghel sa langit kumanta ang mga bata. Wish ko lang sana in my next Bohol trip ay ma-witness ko rin ang magic ng Loboc Children’s Choir. Eto may nakita akong performance nila via YouTube.
Anyway, last Sunday I was at the record store looking for a cd or dvd ng Vienna Boys Choir. Sadly, walang kopya and record bar but the saleslady gave me another group na similar sa VBC. Some of you might have heard of them. They are called LIBERA and they come from England, my hometown. Charing!
Matagal na pala silang grupo, bakit ngayon ko lang na-discover. Well, better late than never ‘debbah? This is their official website.
I’ve heard one of their songs before but I wasn’t familiar with the group. In fairness, parang mga anghel din ang boses. Very similar to VBC. I fell in love with them instantly and bought their Best of cd and their concert dvd . I searched for them in YouTube and here’s the video of the two songs that I like most. Paki-click na lang ang link ha.

OH MY GOD! Magko-concert pala sila sa Pilipinaaaas!!!
Juice ko ngayon ko lang nabasa sa website nila.
It will be on the 25th of October 2009. Juice ko mag-iipon na ako ng pambili ng tickeeeeet!
My gosh, I'm so excited. Feeling ko talaga ako si Stefania Fernandez na naka-gown at rumarampa habang kumakanta sila. Hahaha!
Go get your copy of the cd and dvd at baka maubusan kayo dahil na-promote na sila dito. Hahaha!
Magkita na lang tayo sa concert nila noh. Sana makapunta nga ako sa concert nila.
Paging Vicky Morales. Yuhooooo!

nakakatuwa naman ang cute ng mga bata. i noticed lang na habang tumatanda ako nag-iiba talaga ang choice ng music natin. hopefully for the better naman.
Mahalia: I noticed that too. Naiingayan na rin ako sa mga current songs habang tumatagal. Hahaha! While these classical/operatic music kahit buong araw pa itugtog ay keri lang. Tumatanda na tayo.
i love classical music, jazz, R&B.
pero pag sa videoke ang madalas kong kinakanta ay mga awitin ni Martin Nievera.
frustrated singer ako.. hindi pa man sumisikat laos na agad.. lungkot!
