Pop Rock Princess Yeng Constantino is on a creative streak! Fans of the talented lass will be glad to
know that the “Hawak Kamay” singer and songwriter is in the thick of brewing
something unique and special come February 3, Friday the day she unveils a
musical presentation entitled “Ok
Lang Maging Single Sa Valentines.”
The title of the show is a phrase
born out of Yeng’s own idea. “It was August of last year around the time of my
solo concert at the Aliw Theater, when I thought of the title and immediately,
the concept of a show came to me,” Yeng said. “I thought ‘wouldn’t it be nice
to come up with a show with singles in mind instead of the usual Valentines
show for couples?’“ she added.
Hence the catchy title and the burst
of creative energy from Yeng who, since her 2011’s solo concert, is growing to
be more hands on when it comes to her career. “I’m contributing to the whole
look of the show, from the concert poster design, as well as the songs that
I’ll do and the choice of musicians I want to play with” enthuses Constantino,
who is lately bursting with ideas and is hard at work in preparation for the
show.
For sure, come Valentines, we’ll be
inundated by advertisements regarding dinner dates and other specials with “the
couple” in mind. We doubt that you’ll
see any other hearts-day event that pertains to “singles” except this one from
Yeng, and there lies the uniqueness of her show. Not only does the Yeng have
the interest of the “single community” at heart, but who better to speak for
“all the lonely people” than she who is in the same boat? She has a more positive view about it though
when she tells, “I think it’s normal to wish for someone special to come along,
but if it’s not’s the right time, we shouldn’t force it. Let’s enjoy the
single-blessedness of our situation.”
Yeng Constantino will have the whole
night of February 3 to convince everybody at the Music Museum why it’s not so
bad to be single on Valentines day. In fact she will convince you that its “Ok
Lang Maging Single Sa Valentines” when she reveals that, “all the songs that
I’m singing will be a case to prove why it’s good to be single.” That and a couple
of surprise guests Jovit Baldivino and Paolo Valenciano and Yeng’s special
treat for everyone that comes in the form of new, original songs that she will
be debuting on the upcoming show.
As an idea, “Ok Lang Maging Single Sa
Valentines” is a nugget of folksy wisdom from Yeng who expresses that being
“single is just a status…in truth it’s a season in our life that needs to be
celebrated.” And celebrate it she will when show date comes.
“Ok Lang
Maging Single Sa Valentines” opens on a Friday on February 3 and show starts at
8 pm at The Music Museum and brought to us by Cornerstone Concerts, RRJ and
Qualibet, the show is directed by Dido Camara, the brains behind “ASAP
Sessionistas” fame under the music direction of guitarist and genius producer
Jack Rufo. For tickets, call Ticketworld at 891-9999. Ticket prices are Php
