WILL Senator Manny Pacquiao perform at the 2018 Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival at the Mall of Asia Open Grounds on Feb. 10?
“That we have to find out but for sure Senator Manny Pacquiao will be there to support the Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival,” said Pauline Sofia Laping, who represented Monde Luce Productions, in the press conference held at the Hops and Brews, I’m Hotel in Makati City last Wednesday night.
Pacquiao ventured into the music in 2006 when he recorded his debut CD called “Laban NatingLahat Ito” which went Platinum. In 2007, Pacquiao released his sophomore album called “Pac-Man Punch.”
The Filipino boxing champ has already performed at the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in Hollywood and for Fox Sports.
To date, his most important recording is “Lalaban Ako Para sa Pilipino” which he plays every time he goes to the right for a fight.
The 2018 Ishin-Denshin International Music Festival aims to make a link between the Filipino and Japanese music lovers stronger, possibly to explore new and exciting sounds that has never been head of before.
“Proceeds of the concert will go to the Manny Pacquiao Foundation and help the people of Marawi who were displaced due to months-long siege,” said Laping, who also organizes the annual Miss Global Philippines beauty contest.
OPM and foreign artists who will take part in the music festival are Bamboo, Ely Buendia, Apl de Ap, Itchyworms, Rocksteady, Beni Beverly, Maria Gow, DJ Ace Ramos, DJ Shoyd, DJ Hello Kitty, DJ Daiki, and Absolute Play.
“Actually, the disc jockeys will come from Japan while our local artists will perform during the concert,” said Laping.
Ishin-denshin is a Japanese idiom which literally translates as “what the mind thinks, the heart transmits.”
