San Diego Reader articles on the Philippines

Posted in San Diego on 04/30/2012 04:14 pm by admin

We got a message about several articles by Dominic Degrazier which appeared in the San Diego Reader.

 

I wrote a few articles for the SD Reader after returning from the amazing lands of the Philippines. I thought perhaps the SD Filipino would be interested in them (below). You all have a wonderful country over there.

Filipino Jazz Star Charmaine Clamor Debuts “Hallelujah!” in Northern California

SAN FRANCISCO. Following two sold-out performances at the Getty Museum, Charmaine Clamor, the acclaimed Filipino-American vocalist, will debut her new show in Northern California on April 7-8.

Entitled, “Hallelujah: A Celebration of Rebirth and Renewal,” the show is a soulful, non-denominational celebration of the spirit of Spring. Ms. Clamor will debut songs by Stevie Wonder (“Overjoyed”), Leonard Cohen (“Hallelujah”), and Duke Ellington (“Come Sunday”). The program also includes the popular spiritual “His Eye is on the Sparrow” and other musical surprises.

“Hallelujah” debuts on April 7th (Saturday) at the historic Sutter Creek Theater. Ms. Clamor will be joined by her touring trio, Matt Politano (piano), Dominic Thiroux (bass), and Abe Lagrimas (drums and ukulele).

On Easter Sunday, April 8th (7PM), Charmaine Clamor will perform “Hallelujah” at the Nikko Hotel’s famed Rrazz Room. Her special guest on laud and guitar will be San Francisco’s own Robert “Bo” Razon.

“I’m excited to sing so many new songs,” Charmaine Clamor commented. “I’ve always considered myself a soul singer, and now I get to do a whole program of soulful music. This is going to be a powerful show.”

Details on the debut of “Hallelujah!” and all of Charmaine’s appearances can be found at her official Website, CharmaineClamor.com.

Fundraiser for Cagayan de Oro and Iligan City

Posted in San Diego on 02/15/2012 09:57 am by admin

My name is Janna and I am getting together a fundraiser for the Washi Storm that hit Cagayan De Oro and Iligan City about a month and a half ago.
This event will be held on February 19th at 6pm at True North Tavern in North Park located at 3815 30th St. It will be a 21+ event.
I am looking for donations but more importantly I am hoping you can help spread the word about this Fundraiser so we can get a lot of guests and support to send out to our fellow Filipinos who are in need after this tragedy.
If you are able to send out an email to your vendors to give donations such as merchandise or gift cards that I could raffle off it would greatly be appreciated! They could email me at jans_ban@yahoo.com or call me at 619-991-0437.
I have included the flyer for the event so that you could spread the word!
Thanks you so much for you time and support!
