Tunog Natin! Concert Series Lobbies Support for OPM with Avida Land

One June 15, 2011, a free concert called "Tunog Natin!" will feature some of the most distinguished and promising names in the local music scene will be staged at the Ayala Triangle Gardens.

The activity starts at 6:30pm and lobbies for public support for the slowly fading Original Pilipino Music (OPM).

"Tunog Natin! An OPM Concert Series" is a call to revive the Filipino audience’s interest for homegrown artists and locally-produced records. It is a series of concerts that the real estate developer Avida Land Corp. will stage in key locations in Metro Manila in line with its upcoming milestone events and project launches.

The Tunog Natin concert will be part of the Colors of Freedom celebration at Makati and is also tied in with the Freedom Concert on June 10 (featuring Bituin Escalante, Gerard Salonga and FilharmoniKa orchestra). The free show will start at exactly 7pm.
Performers include singer-songwriter and APO Hiking Society stalwart Jim Paredes and True Faith. Established performers include OPM bossa nova queen Sitti, OPM rock bands Callalily, 6cyclemind and Pedicab whose music continue to define and evolve their genre. They are joined by Princess Velasco and Sabrina, the best-selling acoustic artists today.
