The biggest street party music tribute will be happening on April 28, 2012 at the 9th avenue in Boni High St., Bonifacio Global City as we celebrate this year’s EARTHDAY JAM 2012 !
EARTHDAY JAM, the musical marathon for Mother Earth, on its 12th year shows no signs of slowing down as it starts at 6 PM, with guitar donning, drum beating music ambassadors of Mother Earth in various genres as diverse as world music, alternative, rock, reggae and acoustic. Kicking off the festivities are salsa-samba El_Martinos drumbeaters whose performance segues to the Philippines premier Brazilian-fusion artist Nyko Maca with band Gafeiera. These will pave the way for an exciting journey of various musical performances from folk guru Noel Cabangon to the reggae laced set of Peace Pipe, an internationally renowned group who has won several awards abroad including “Artist of the Year” from Zim Carib radio in New Zealand. The pop-rock set will be dominated by women-fronted bands Imago, and jazz pinoy soul quartet, Sino Sikat. The rock-alternative scene, on the other hand, will bring in major bands, Kjwan, Mayonnaise, Radio Active Sago Project with witty frontman Lourd De Vera along with veteran artist-producer Lou Bonnevie. Boni High St. regular habitués are out to get a dose of modern 60’s with Bloomfields and the 80’s babies will reminisce with True Faith’s long list of hits from “Perfect” to “Huwag Na Lang Kaya”. Pop sensations Nina and Juris will dish out their hits while pledging to Mother Earth on breaks while pop-novelty act Tanya Markova delivers their string of hits including the fave “Picture Picture”. All these music are interspersed with environmental tips from various speakers representing “green” NGOS and various leading government agencies. Splashes of AVP’s & envi-music videos will also dominate the video screen as bands perform. There will be “advocacy” booths near the stage, fronted by DENR, Greenpeace, Tieza, among others that will be open to the public starting at 4pm showcasing various “green” products and various campaign enlistment.
Last Independence day, the Araneta Center made sure that Filipinos will enjoy and appreciate the historical date with an one of a kind event that happened in the new Gateway Park located beside the big dome, the Smart Araneta Coliseum, which is also where the big Christmas Tree is located. Freedom Rocks is a free concert offering to the public together with great variety of food from the merchants of the Food Bazaar at the venue.
Were just 5 days away until Independence day, and aside from the colors of freedom, Araneta Center have come up with a event that will make you scream FREEDOM ROCKS! That’s why OPM bands Join The Club and Tanya Markova are rockin’ the night away on June 12 at The Araneta Center…for FREE! Yes, it’s FREE! We are giving you a FREE CONCERT on Independence Day!

Same with “Disney”, “Linda Blair” and “PA Roadie Fernandez” which dominated the charts of various radio stations and music channels all over the country.
Wacky band Tanya Markova invaded various radio stations and a music channel to bring their version of a make-over—what they call Tanya Mark-over to mark the release of their latest single “Da Facebook Song (Ang Ganda Ganda Mo)”.
What do you remember most about the 90s? Gadgets like the Discman on which you listened to music, the Tamagotchi which served as your pet, wore MSR Snowshoes or those big cellular phones? Was it the movies, like when you watched “Titanic” three times (or more ), got “Clueless” with Alicia Silverstone, or melted over the line “You had me at ‘hello’,” from “Jerry Maguire”? Or was it the TV shows, like when you got hooked on “Friends”, “Beverly Hills 90210,” or “Melrose Place”? Or was it the music? Of course, there has to be music.
After Three successful Tunog Natin! OPM Concert Series, its now time to bring it to another level with its first compilation album: “Tunog Natin! Songs From Home”.
FILIPINOS bring out their best in times of adversity—and now that Original Pilipino Music (OPM) is slowly fading, Filipino artists and audiences are working together to save it.
