While the Filipino food pancit, lumpia, and balut are slowly breaking into mainstream America, Original Philippine Music (OPM) should not be too far behind—food and music go well together anyway, which was the inspiration for Synergy Productions and Marketing Inc. to stage the concert “An Evening of Original Philippine Music with Cecile Azarcon and Sounds of Manila” at Peter Norton Symphony Space (2537 Broadway and 95th Street) on Sunday, April 27, at 7 p.m.
“The concert will be a musical tribute to celebrate Filipino composer Cecile Azarcon’s timeless pop songs that have been pervading the airwaves over the last 35 years—whether it be in their original form and arrangement, or contemporary rendition—in the Philippines or in many Filipino American communities across the United States,” says Grace Labaguis, Synergy Productions’ marketing director.
“The time is also ripe to introduce Azarcon’s melodious love songs such as ‘Even If,’ ‘I Think I’m In Love,’ and ‘How Did You Know,’ newly rearranged by the renowned musical director and arranger Lorrie Ilustre, and interpreted by Sounds of Manila, a band that produces an authentic ‘70s, ‘80s Manila sound, to a more diverse group of concertgoers,” Labaguis adds.
