Kuh: It's payback time
SOUNDS FAMILIAR By Baby A. Gil
The Philippine Star 11/18/2005
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FLASH NOTICE: Yours Truly is now being moderated in the
other Kuh Ledesma yahoo group. (Does Kuh know this? hehe.)
The reasons is scary.. The moderators there have links to
the artist detractors! One of them even a modertator of
RVML! The other to the Nora Aunor yahoo group. And you
should know this- we link the artist detractor to the
LA drug bust incident Nora had there. It was a set-up!
Just as the the U.S. Embassy incident Regine experienced
before was also a set-up. And her Canada canx shows too.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Twenty years ago, Kuh Ledesma was a young nurse moonlighting as a
singer with the group called Ensalada at the Calesa Bar. She
certainly had all the makings of a future star. Thanks to composer
George Canseco though, what would have taken her another year or two
to accomplish happened literally overnight. Canseco asked her to
record one of his works, Dito Ba?, theme song of the motion picture
Miss. X. It became a big hit and launched Kuh to stardom.
Kuh became one of Canseco's favorite interpreters and he continued to
provide her with more hit materials over the years. There were
Bulaklak based on a French song he adapted for her, other movie
themes like Sana Bukas Pa ang Kahapon and Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan
and his paean to a great race, Ako ay Pilipino. Kuh has worked with
other composers since she started but Canseco remained the most
special of them all. In fact, they were working on some new songs
when Canseco died a year ago.
Canseco succumbed to complications from liver cancer and diabetes on
Nov. 19, 2004. Not one to just allow the sad event to pass without
paying tribute to his greatness, Kuh has decided to honor his memory
and to once more showcase his music with a concert aptly titled Paano
Kita Mapasasalamatan. This will be held tomorrow, 8:30 p.m. at the
Philippine International Convention Center, exactly a year after
Canseco's death.
Kuh will be joined by Basil Valdez, another Canseco favorite with
hits like Ngayon at Kailanman and Hanggang Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan
plus new pop idol Christian Bautista in the show. Special guests will
be other artists whose careers took a swift turn to the top because
of a Canseco song. These are Zsa Zsa Padilla to whom he gave Hiram,
Dulce, whose signature song is Ako ang Nasawi, Ako ang Nagwagi and
Pilita Corrales who recorded Canseco's first big hit Kapantay ay
Langit.
Also on hand will be composer and arranger Louie Ocampo who composed
Ikaw, which Canseco provided with its beautiful lyrics and Martin
Nievera. Now although Martin has a great version of Ikaw, he is one
artist who is not usually associated with Canseco. Truth to tell
though, he recorded the last song he ever wrote, the moving Nasaan Ka
Man.
Canseco composed memorable songs. I am sure Paano Kita
Mapasasalamatan will be full of memorable performances. Tickets to
the show are available at Music Museum, all Ticketworld outlets, at
Headline Concepts and tomorrow night at the PICC. A weekend of shows
Meanwhile, on tap tonight in what has turned out to be a tune filled
weekend is M.Y.M.P: Best at the Araneta Coliseum. Produced by Live
Artists Production, Inc., it stars M.Y.M.P. which is made up of Juris
Fernandez and Chin Alcantara on vocals, with John Angeles on drums, k-
hon and percussion and Andrew Advincula on bass. It will also feature

and Vince Alaras.
Tomorrow, also at the Araneta Coliseum, '70s disco star Teri de Sario
will perform with singer songwriter Joe Pizzulo who did Let's Give A
Little More This Time, and What Do We Mean to Each Other. Teri is
known for her hit version of Fallin'plus other hits like It Takes a
Man and a Woman, Yes, I'm Ready and Ain't Nothin' Gonna Keep Me from
You. Joining them will be soul siren Nina and the revived Passage
