So you’ll be expecting some clapping and cheering from the crowd in this album since this is a live recorded album (from her first solo major concert held last May 19, 2006) and not a studio-recorded one. The album consists of 15 tracks and it features the performances of Rocksteddy, Ney of 6cyclemind, Kitchie Nadal and Barbie’s Mom. The album was recently released under 12 Stone Records who also manages Barbie Almalbis. (more…)

Before, there was an acoustic uproar in the music scene and now, there is bossa nova spreading like flu. Certainly, Sitti Navarro was responsible for it. There was one time when I looked for Sitti’s first album (the studio recorded version) and I cannot find it. All that they have is the Sitti Live! I don’t buy live albums so the day ended with no CD in my hand. Thus, with the success of her previous albums, Warner Music released a Limited Edition of Cafe Bossa. Even though the contents of Cafe Bossa are all revivals, the bossa nova version of each of the 18 tracks are commendable. If you already have a copy of Cafe Bossa, I think that you should have waited for the release of the Limited Edition. The Cafe Bossa [Limited Edition] comes with two CDs where one is the Audio CD with all the 18 tracks of the original Cafe Bossa album plus the bonus VCD. (more…)
