Once more, music has reached out to help make the world a better place.
Last night (04/02), veteran Broadway star and real-life Disney princess Lea Salonga held an hour-long virtual concert from her home via Facebook Live for the online concert series Bayanihan Musikahan. Her stunning performance raised over PHP 2 million for the benefit of families and communities affected by the coronavirus pandemic through Philippine International Aid.
@MsLeaSalonga ends her FB live concert with @ryancayabyab’s Paraiso. She shares that it’s her first time to play around with garage band to make back up vocals. We love Cesar Aguas’ guitar track! https://t.co/kSLDqqaMjC #SmokeyMountain #BayanihanMusikahan
