Which of these songs will you perform in the Filipino American Library's gala concert, "Jazzmopolitan: A Celebration of Music" on Oct. 11?
I will be singing four songs. I want to make it a surprise. I will be doing materials from "Flippin' Out" and my new album, "My Harana: A Filipino Serenade" but also one that has not been recorded yet. Among the performers are Mon David, Tateng Katindig and his quintet, Becca Godinez, Three of a Kind and Michael Paulo. I will have Richard Ickard as my special guest during my set.
Can you sum up your experience portraying two characters in "The Vagina Monologues"? And how was it to say your lines in Tagalog?
Being part of "The Vagina Monologues" was liberating. It felt so good to have that freedom to speak and scream repeatedly those words that are considered "taboo" and to celebrate my sensuality. Doing the Tagalog version was even funnier and for me, more honest and direct. That was my first taste of acting and I had an amazing experience.
I was the musical director for both the San Francisco and New York productions. I provided the interstitial music between the monologues. The best part was being able to raise funds for our lolas of Lila Pilipina (the comfort women) and other organizations that fight domestic violence against Filipino women.
