Watching the whole process of how everyone practiced and prepared for this event was something else. Every person and each minor note is important. You certainly need an excellent team to create a successful event, and Salamin was able to come up with one.
The usual weekend traffic posed a problem to everyone coming in on time, so the group was anxious as to how the turnout would be. They delayed the opening for an hour or so, and sure enough the venue was packed. And why wouldn't it be? As soon as you watch these guys perform, you'll know why. They call their followers Salaminions and they are the more enthusiastic, euphoric group experiencing a musical high in every gig.
This album launch proved to everyone that Salamin was a bunch of very versatile musicians. Paolo Valenciano played Prodigal without the band at first, and he asked me to ad lib on the instrumentals. I am very thankful for the chance to do that aside from being asked to do backup with Riz. Received some heart-warming compliments from great performers after the show and that added so much to this epic night! The music video for Prodigal was shown during the launch and is going to be released this January. The song and video is beautifulllll and the video will be graced by one of the most talented actors in the Philippines so watch out for it!
Thanks again to Salamin!!!
