Madz and CompanY

The Philippine Madrigal Singers performed with The Company at the Glorietta 4 park as part of Glorietta Sounds. Among the compositions that they sang were: Diwa ng Pasko, Man in the Mirror, Cat's Meow, Payapang Daigdig and A Christmas Carol. It was another great and well-applauded performance by the Madz and they really showed why they are simply "the best choir in the world". Founded in 1963, the Madz has since gone on to win countless international competitions and recorded numerous albums. Resident artists of the CCP, the Madz have been known to sing anything and everything with authenticity, professionalism, and passion.

The CompanY meanwhile, is the country's longest running vocal harmony group. They started out as back-up vocals to other first-rate artists, but have since then recorded several albums and staged successful concerts on their own. They sang Dadalhin, Kumukutikutitap, Bulaklak and Soul Bossanova, all together with the Madz. The problem with their performance with the Madz is that their voices were masked by the louder and more numerous Madz (who had several mics in front of them), especially in their last two performances of The (Not So) Little Drummer Boy and Ang Huling El Bimbo. Nevertheless, it was still a superb musical night.

On Dec. 22, the Madz sing again at the same venue together with R&B princess Kyla...
