[30 November 2009] After the Asia-in-a-basket Cebu food bloggers event in SM Foodcourt is the concert Passionata: A Cultural Heritage Celebration. Vanjohnn gave me and other 8 bloggers complimentary tickets to the said concert. Passionata is a concert to showcase Cebu‘s finest group singers, Cebu’s highly-acclaimed songs, the Philippines’ cultural legacy in the field of music and also the whole world’s greatest musical contributions.
Three groups participated in the concert. The first one is a personal favorite, the Asian Troubadours. The other two being the Cebu Chamber Singers and the Mandaue Children’s Choir.
I first came to know Asian Troubadours when a bunch of their sampler CDs were distributed during the DigitalFilipino event in Waterfront. I grabbed one! And when I listened to the CD, I simply could say that it was ecstatic. Their music is amazing, not the amazing kind that will knock you off your feet but something that will peace you down, make you proud, and say that we have brilliant talents here in our very own place. During the 440th Anniversary of Cebu, their song Cebu 440 Overture is the theme song. (Read my Asian Troubadours post)
Here’s my favorite, the Cebu 440 Overture by the Asian Troubadours.
