Multiple rounds of applause were heard throughout one Wednesday night at the vibrant Viva Cafe in Cubao, Quezon City when Katrina Velarde belted out classic hits such as Evanescence's “Bring Me To Life,” JK Labajo’s “Ere,” and Regine Velasquez-Alcasid’s “Araw Gabi.”
Katrina’s powerhouse voice continued to impress the Viva Cafe crowd that night which, for her, is something to expect for her upcoming concert “SiKAT V.3.”
“There’s a bigger vision para sa concert na ’to,” Asia’s Vocal Supreme told pikapika.ph in an exclusive interview after the show. “Kasi the last two concerts that I did, talagang more of fun-fun. Cute lang siya with the rainbow colors. Ngayon, we want it to be more serious and diva-ish.”
For Katrina, she really wants her audience to leave the concert venue feeling like it was worth every penny. That is why she really wants to unleash her inner diva during “SiKAT V.3,” something that is different from the past two concerts she has done.
“Let’s go to being more diva-ish and more serious,” she said. “Of course, hindi naman mawawala ’yong mga time na baklang-bakla ako pero, this time, since we are really looking forward to a bigger picture of what the show is going to be, I want it to be really nice and ’pag umuwi sila, ’yong mararamdaman nilang worth it talaga.”
And when she was asked if she could describe her upcoming concert with one song, she immediately sang “Overjoyed” by Stevie Wonder, saying this is how she felt having her third concert under Viva.
And what’s next for Katrina after the concert? She hopes to tour around the country and the world with fellow local and international artists.
“May mga niluluto na kaming mga tour with other Filipino and international artists. Hopefully! Let’s see!” she said.
When asked if she has a message for her fans awaiting her upcoming concert, she simply hopes to see them real soon as she promises bigger and much-awaited performances from herself and very special guests.
“I hope to see you all there. Maraming maraming salamat sa mga nag-abang, sa mga na-excite, at maraming maraming salamat sa mga nag-iipon na ngayon pa lang. I know na sa panahon ngayon, hindi madaling kumita ng pera but I appreciate the effort so maraming maraming salamat po and I’m so so excited to see you. Paghahandaan ko po ’to ng mabuti, gagandahan ko po ’yong songs. Iga-grand finals natin ’to, mga mare!” she said.
“SiKAT V.3” will take place at the New Frontier Theater this October 11. Tickets for the concert, directed by Paolo Valenciano and under the musical direction of Mon Faustino, are now available for purchase at www.ticketnet.com.ph.
