Jessa Zaragoza Gives A Musical Treat With "I Am Me" Concert

It has been 13 years since Jessa Zaragoza had her own solo concert, and still active in showbiz with Pepito Manaloto and also an interpreter in Himig Handog for "Bumalik Ang Nagdaan" still makes her a talent that has endured the test of time. Now that she is also a wife to Siquijor Vice-Governor Dingdong Avanzado and mother to Jayda, a lot has changed, yet there are still her loyal fans and friends.

Jessa makes a musical comeback with her concert I Am Me held last January 15 at the Music Museum. Opening the set was a medley of her famous hits along with video messages from fans and friends in the industry, which one of the most touching was from the late German "Kuya Germs" Moreno.

MUSIC LYF: Marissa Sanchez With A New Image With Slowing It Down

Marissa Sanchez is known to be a comedienne, and she still is, however things have changed for her recently with motherhood, life realizations and and the love of music that most of us think would never thought she would be listening. Now it time for her new phase in her life with an album that goes really mellow. 

"Slowing It Down" is her new album released under Universal Records. The album features English and Tagalog revivals and an original composition by Elmer Blancaflor titled “Eighteen.” Blancaflor also composed “Panghabang Buhay” and “Pag-Ibig Ko'y Pansinin” which were originally sung by Faith Cuneta and Jessa Zaragoza and Dingdong Avanzado, respectively.

JUAN MINUTE: A Great Year For Jessa Zaragoza

It was this year that I met Jessa Zaragoza for the first time for the launch of her album under GMA Records, and she showed that she is indeed a down-to-earth star with a great voice and bubbly personality. And this year has been a great year for her and her husband Dingdong Avanzado as they both enjoy the projects and successes that came in their way.

Being a mother, singer, actress are some of the qualities of Jessa that make her a sought-after personality even after their hiatus for some time. Now that they are back in the limelight, things are going into place and sometimes going beyond their expectations.

And even both of them are busy with their own projects they do find time for each other and their daughter. She also maintained to stay fit and flawless (same goes with Dingdong who celebrated his 25th anniversary in showbiz) which still makes them very recognizable to the public even after years has passed.

Now let's look back on the things that Jessa Zaragosa did this year...

MUSIC LYF: Dingdong Avanzado SPOTLIGHT

The music industry in the Philippines has made a lot of singers and superstars, but one of the things that makes a music artist complete is to make a mark in the business and of course the fans and listeners. Recently, a handful of singers celebrated their anniversary with concerts, albums and shows. And one of them is singer-composer Dingdong Avanzado.

Dingdong is celebrating a great year together with his wife Jessa Zaragoza who is also having a lot of projects with GMA Network and also launched an album with GMA Records also within the year. The couple is very happy with all things which goes beyond their expectations. Its also surprising for me that Dingdong reached his 25th year in the industry, yet he does look young (no kidding, which means I was just born when he started his career). 

MUSIC LYF: Jessa Zaragoza - Pag Wala Na Ang Ulan (album)

Bakit Pa?

Siya Ba Ang Dahilan?

Sounds familiar? As a kid who grew up in the 90's I do appreicate the OPM artists in the turn of the new Millennium. And one of my most admired singers of that  time (and up to now) is Jessa Zaragoza. She is back with a new album PAG WALA NA ANG ULAN under GMA Records. She still looks young and sexy even after all these years, and still has a powerful and soothing voice that will captivate our hearts.


For this album she also collaborated with the soulful Kris Lawrence for the song "Napatawad Na Kita". She said that they chose him because he is great with R&B which is a creates a perfect harmony for the theme.
