Lani Misalucha: First Filipino artist to headline 6-month stint in Las Vegas

Balita News Service; 7/24/2004

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Lani Misalucha, easily considered as Asia’s Singing Sensation has elevated the status of the Filipino artist once more as she topbills a six-month performance at the prestigious Jubilee Theater in Bally’s Casino.

A rare opportunity offered any artist, Lani is overwhelmed and excited about this latest project. She shares the stage with America’s premiere showband, The Society of Seven in the self-titled concert "The Society of Seven with Lani Misalucha (All the Shows in the Strip on One Stage) which kicks off on August 7. The show goes on daily at 3 p.m. except Fridays. This early, the buzz is strong especially among the locals of Las Vegas who are more than eager to watch a fellow Filipino take centerstage right at the heart of the Las Vegas strip. It will also allow mainstream audiences to notice that the Filipino artist can stand at par with any artists in the USA in terms of performance and vocal talents.

Lani, to many of us is a Diva’s Diva. Not one to rest on laurels or titles, she continues to hone her talent in singing and test her vocal skills to the max. A very versatile artist, Lani can carry a torch song with so much angst and glide into a powerful aria with so much ease and grace. A real gem, Lani is out to show her audiences that indeed, a Filipino artist is world-class.

In this concert, a different Lani emerges on stage as she blends perfectly well with the seasoned vocalists of SOS as well as dance to well-choreographed production numbers. While most of her concerts featured her wide vocal spectrum, the six-day grind in Jubilee Theater showcases Lani as a well-rounded entertainer – one who can sing, dance and exchange a warm repartee with her audience.

Incidentally, Bally’s Casino belongs to the world famous Caesar’s Entertainment, one of the world’s leading gaming companies. Under its ownership and management are Caesar’s Palace, Paris Hotel LV, Flamingo, Grand Casinos and Hilton.

Bally’s is an ultra modern, high-rise hotel located On the Strip which is also just a few miles from McCarran Airport. Since its opening, Bally’s Las Vegas has been considered one of the most elegant resorts even earning the tag, "Jewel of the Strip." What makes this casino also world-famous is Don Arden’s Jubilee! – A lavish stage spectacular and jaw-dropping musical extravaganza.

It is this very same Jubilee theater where the Society of Seven and Lani Misalucha will have their daily performances.

The Society of Seven (SOS) is a powerhouse cast of genuine talents whose performances have been enjoyed by varied audiences traveling from all over the world. From blues, ballads, comedy and impersonations, the SOS continue to bring new meaning to the word "variety" with enough energy to set seven stages ablaze. Like a chameleon, the SOS constantly changes colors throughout a performance.

The group plays every instrument in sight – horns, keyboards and guitars among many others. Every member of the SOS is an accomplished technician on several instruments. Each multi-talented member contributes his own special genius to the ensemble and the result is an explosion of musical energy guaranteed to entertain audiences around the world.

The SOS consists of the following: Tony Ruivivar, the creative leader of the group. He plays the guitar and has a warm down-home earthy voice; Bert Sagum, the spontaneous comic, who leads the SOS laugh brigade; Gary Bautista, a vocal dynamo who can render anything from Broadway to Sinatra hits (his voice can also do hundreds of impressions); Hoku Low, possessor of the crystal clear high falsetto voice and plays the bass and horns; Randy Abellar, gifted with a vocal range that is incredible and an accomplished drummer; Roy Guerzo, master keyboardist of the group and Wayne Wakai, an excellent arranger and is able to sing any vocal part from low bass to high gospel falsetto.

Thus, watching the Society of Seven and Lani Misalucha in one show together are getting more than your money’s worth. The show is highly-entertaining rich with production values and a repertoire carefully hand-picked and arranged to satisfy any type of music palette. It’s the kind of show that can be enjoyed by the entire family from six to ninety-six.

"The Society of Seven with Lani Misalucha" is produced by Rosy Cheeks Entertainment Group, Inc. with Jackie Regala of KATZ Entertainment handling the shows’ promotion and marketing.


-----------------------;-)--------------------------



Isn't Martin the first Pinoy artist to do that?
Actually the "Pork Chop" dual/group would be.
So once again, another wrong and misleading statement
being associated with the Nightingale. But are any of
them her fault? Technically she should correct what
is being said in her name.

;-(

The saddest backstage/background music drama there is
today to me. Lani can't seem to do things on her own
still. Sad to say based on what is being seen.

On the other hand, Lani fans will be happy to see her
perform. I was. Till I seen who booked the shows. *sigh*
Why use a producer from another state? Because she wasn't
good enough to get booked on her talents merit alone?

Even I could have done it for her in Las Vegas via the
net! Easy since good old Martin Nievera opened doors for
us all there. Good going, Mad man..

;-)

Hay naku mga people. Hayaan nyo na at alam naman ng karamihan that Martin was the first one to do that kind of gig in Vegas. If there's anyone who's going to face the consequences for those lies, it's going to be her and her career anyway, so don't sweat over it. Let's just be happy and proud that another Filipino is making it there. Me and a friend are actually planning to watch the show this August.

i agree..plus she can't have control over everything that's written about her..it's all about the headlines..it's what catches the attention of the people..it's partially true cuz she's the 1st one to get a 6 month gig..i know Martin was 1st but it was for a shorter period of time..but it doesn't matter..they're both performing in Vegas..more exposure for Filipinos to show that we are world-class..like shanikwa said we should just all be proud..

People in the States would appreciate the difference in Lani & Martin's performances because yung kay Lani is along "The Strip" while yung kay Martin is sa "Downtown" Vegas.... You see Mr. MusicMan Jun, yung Bally's Hotel where Lani will perform is located obliquely across the Caesar's Palace -- where Celine Dion is performing too... Just for your information since you may have not been totally informed.

mmJun:
Aba. Sounds kick butt to meh. hehe..

Will she go beyond what she really is
as a performer and artist? Will she have
that chance?

Not without proper back-up.

But let's wait and see what happens. If anyone
wants to see a pinoy artist make it elsewhere
then its yours truly. And if there is anyone who
wants Lani to make it then you all must now know
the real truth- its me. Because Lani represents
the kind of singers I use to work with before.
I know her type musically. Which means she is
going to need alot of real support and help if
she is going to go beyond being just exploited
again. ( yep, there's more to be learned here
than what we see and think is going on again. *sigh* )

You can be sure as sure as day this music man will
be watching this event as closely as anything else
that has been linked to our country's music scene.

;-)

Music fans who have personal ties in Las Vegas are
welcome to write in and help keep us posted on any
developments. Which will be posted in the artist's
music group/list.

GO GO to Las Vegas to witness for yourself & YOU tell us. Otherwise, your info is a doubtful as any other. why spend for Lani? i'll sponsor your ticket if you have the balls for it! & if d US embassy will even trust your identity to grant you a visa! //end//

Over ka Veggie, lol. Nag offer pa na mag-sponsor ng tickets, how condescending. Ako na lang kaya sponsor mo, then I will make my review. We can make it together pa if you like, para more reliable and credible di ba? Nandito lang ako sa Long Beach, so airfare would be cheaper for you. Game? Sponsor mo na rin ang friend ko, mas cheaper pa rin 'yon than buying tickets for mmJun... LOL. While you're at it, book mo na rin kami ng room sa Bally's, 'yong penthouse suite ha. LOL

i think in some cases it's better to just take things at face value..this was about Lani's show in Vegas and not about whatever XXXXXXXXXX is happening around her or here in the Philippines..Lani's trying to make a name for her and for Filipinos in Vegas..


Why sortinly! By all means let the girl try and make her
own mark for once. No problem. That was info I wasn't
suppose to post in the first place. The bad weather must
be getting to me too now.

If she deserves the break then I'm sure she'll get it.
But that producer of hers is courting more karma than
anything else. Sorry that Lani is the type of artist
that can't do anything on her own. But let's see.

mmJun ;-)

I'm proud with our two girls who were in American Pop Idol.

They made my decade. Make no mistake.. Lani's success
in the U.S. will happen because those two girls helped
open some closed minds.

Hopefully that hasn't changed since Jay Leno's nice
remarks about our soldiers on the "TONIGHT SHOW."
But let's not get into that one. :-(

The US music scene has been ready to hear more pinoy singers
since the end of the last season. If someone makes the
right moves on Lani's behalf out there she could get
the break originally meant for Regine the last few years.

This will be interesting to keep a good watch on.

mmJun ;-/
