I was blessed for being one of the bloggers who’s been invited and get a chance to have a talk with one of the renowned rocker of the Philippine Music Industry.   Take note she’s the Rockoustic Princess, so who else but Yeng Constantino.  It was a launching event of her fourth solo album and her first-ever live music compilation titled “Yeng Versions Live!”

Relesed by Star Records, Yeng’s latest album includes songs that she personally hand-picked.  In her desire to pay tribute to her great musical influences like Eraserheads, Apo Hiking Society and Rey Valera; she chose all-Filipino hits close to her heart as a singer and songwriter.

Recorded live in Teatrino Promenade in Greenhills, “Yeng Versions Live!” track list includes: “Alapaap” (composed by Ely Buendia of Eraserheads), “Mahirap Magmahal ng Soyta ng Iba” (composed by Jim Paredes of the Apo Hiking Society), “Paniwalaan Mo” (composed by Cecille Azarcon-Inocente), “Kahapon Lamang” (composed by Westdon Abay), “Banal Na Aso, Santong Kabayo” (composed by Westdon Abay) and a medley of two of Yeng’s signature compositions, “Hawak Kamay” and “Salamat”.

After her all-original album entitled “Lapit” which she collaborated with Raimund Marasigan as the album producer, Yeng’s “Yeng Versions Live!” is an another collaboration with another OPM music icon Jack Rufo, former lead guitarist of the 90’s band Neocolours.
