BOSSA nova diva Sitti will have a Christmas
concert titled "An Evening in December with Sitti" tonigth at 8
, at the Music Museum. Joining her on stage are Christian
Bautista, Richard Poon, and Hiyas ng Pilipinas Children’s Choir.
Sitti is now a Backroom artist. She has
successfully reintroduced bossa nova as a new kind of music to a
modern era of listeners. Her string of best-selling albums like
"Café Bossa," "Sitti Live!," "Sitti In the Mix," and "My Bossa
Nova" has captured the Filipinos’ interest in the bossa nova
genre. Her "Café Bossa" led to the surge of bossa nova CDs and
bossa-inspired OPM songs.
She has recently released her new album
titled "Ngayong Pasko" under Warner Music Philippines. The album
contains songs like "All I Want for Christmas," "Ngayong Pasko,"
"Santa Baby," "Winter Wonderland," "Someday At Christmas," "Have
Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa
Claus," "Grown-Up Christmas List," "The Christmas Song," "Jingle
Bell Rock" and "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus." As a special bonus
track, Sitti and Christian Bautista sing a duet "Baby, It’s Cold
Outside." Sitti also sings "I’ll Be Home for Christmas" together
with the Las Pińas Boys Choir.
Sitti has passion for her music. Her gentle
and soothing voice calms and relaxes both body and soul. Her
musical influences include bossa nova legends Ella Fitzgerald,
Sarah Vaughn, Astrud Gilberto, and Gal Costa.
Why did Sitti choose bossa nova? "On my third
year as a lounge singer, people would comment that my voice
would be best suited to this genre. It was something that was
not forced on me. It was something I fell in love with. There is
something about singing it that soothes and relaxes me, like it
quiets my inner person. At the same time it also allows me to
play around, gives me freedom on how to approach every song."
Sitti has hosted several shows like "Pinoy
Dream Academy" and "Pinoy Big Brother Season 2." She explored
her range as an artist and appeared in the top-rating
teleserye "Ysabella." She is sometimes seen in "Wowowee" and
"ASAP ‘08."
Tickets prices at P1,500 and P2,5000 are
