WHAT:
Two Filipino pop-rock sensations will take center stage at SAHARA Las Vegas next month when Arnel Pineda and Lani Misalucha perform at the AZILO Ultra Pool on Thursday, Sept. 21.
The performances will be preceded by DJ sessions from another Filipino star: Boyet Almazan.
Pineda is the main attraction; fans likely know him for his work with the rock band Journey, which he has fronted since December 2007. Pineda famously was discovered by Journey guitarist Neal Schon after a series of YouTube videos were posted of him covering songs such as “Don’t Stop Believin’.” With Pineda on lead vocals, the new iteration of Journey released the album Revelation in June 2008 and it came in at No. 5 on the U.S. charts. The album was their highest charting album since Trial by Fire (with former frontman Steve Perry) and reached platinum status by October of the same year.
Misalucha is a Filipino singer who performs pop, rock, jazz, soul, rhythm and blues and operatic arias. MTV Southeast Asia nicknamed her “Asia’s Nightingale” for her ability to sing across several genres. Since first arriving in Las Vegas in 2002, Misalucha has been called “New Siren of the Strip,” and has performed with the Society of Seven at Bally’s Las Vegas and the Flamingo Las Vegas, making her the first Asian to headline in a main showroom at the Las Vegas Strip.
Earlier in the evening, a well-known Filipino DJ will warm up the crowd with thumping house music and Electronic Dance Music (EDM). DJ Boyet Almazan, from HouseofDisco, will kick off the evening with an hour-long set; he is one of the most accomplished DJs in the Philippines and he started performing as a DJ in 1983 when he joined Wopsy Zamora’s ANZIA First Audio group.
