RakenRol Jamming with Yeng


The 2nd solo concert of Pop Rock Princess of the Philippines” Yeng Constantino proved to be a major success last August 5th at the Aliw Theater despite a drizzly early evening.    With her base fans, the "YENGSTERS", which probably filled 1/3 of the venue,  celebrity friends (aside from the jammers) were also in full support.


4 years of a long wait for Yeng since her first major concert, Rock Enroll: Yeng Constantino's Rock to School Concert back in 2007, she proved to be very able to still hold down the Pop Rock Princess title in her 2nd major concert entitled: "RakenRol Jamming with Yeng Constantino".

Guest jammers in this concert were Tutti Caringal of 6 Cycle Mind, Raimund Marasigan of Sandwich, Gloc 9 who had the crowd energized with this duet "Wala Nang Natira" with Yeng and his solo "Upuan",  Lady Gaga's discovery/singing sensation, Maria Lourdes Aragon sang "Born This Way" and "Price Tag" a duet with Yeng.  Yeng's good friend Sam Milby is also part of the singing entourage wooing the ladies with his version of the song, "Lucky".

What the concert-goers didn't expect to see were special guests such as Ivan Dorscher (the hunk from the music video "Jeepney Love Story") whom she re-enacted her video with on-stage and a show stopping performance by Yeng's avid supporter, Gary V, he had the crowd mesmerized with his moving long song medley, which includes his own rendition of "Where do I begin? (Love Story)" popularized by Andy Williams in 1970.   Mr.-Pure-Energy took some time in sharing with the crowd his admiration and deep support of Yeng's talent as a performer, songwriter and even as a director.


Along with JustinBreathes, Juan Manila and other friends, we all enjoyed good music that night and had a nice time and I can't wait for her next concert, hopefully, not 4 years from now.
