It was 22 years ago when I arrived in Canada and chose Calgary, Alberta to be my home. Leaving my family and friends behind, it was a new adventure for me to be in a new country without knowing anyone. That was the time I looked for a Filipino community paper and never found any, [...]

Wency Cornejo and True Faith Band Takes Calgary by Storm

All roads leads to Century Casino last February 15 for the post Valentine concert and the first leg of the Wency Cornejo and True Faith Canadian Tour Concert. Calgary is the first stop for the group who is on a 5 city tour that saw them also perform for their Fil- Canadian audience in Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. Fans got the chance to relive the hits of these 90’s most popular band and artist.

Performing in front of a full house Century Casino crowd, Wency serenaded the audience with his signature OPM hits” Magpakailanman”,” Habang May Buhay”and “ Next In line” an original cut from his former group After Image. While Medwin Marfil the flamboyant lead singer of True Faith band rocked the house with their certified hit songs such as “ Wag Na Lang Kaya” “Perfect” and” Alaala”.

Calgary’s 2014 first concert of the year is an initial venture of Pinoy Times Entertainment headed by Ms, Connie Kriaski and is considerably a big success based on the huge crowd turn out . “ Filipinos are romantic by nature and what a better way to celebrate Valentines Day than to watch a good concert show with your love ones” as quoted Ms. Kriaski. This is a valentine gift for myself.

An impressive and equally exciting line up of front acts performed that night among them Deuce Wild Band, Cultura Band and solo performers Anne Marie and Laurie Callao. Wency Cornejo started the show with a medley of OPM hits dedicated on nationalism and Filipinos abroad. He even wore a Barong Tagalog at one point of the show. He sang all of his popular hit songs some of which was made into movies and teleserye theme songs.

True Faith’s opening number is their upbeat hit song Alaala which got most of the audience on their feet and through most part of the show dancing to the band’s wide repertoire of OPM and new wave classics. Their finale number together with Wency Cornejo back on stage of the classic Hotdog’s disco hit “Manila” and Put3ska’s “Manila Girl” put the crowd on a frenzy.

It was a great show the group put up that night notwithstanding that Wency and Med are both suffering from colds and flu mainly due to sudden exposure from the extremely cold Calgary weather. As the saying goes the show must go on and what an awesome show indeed it was.

Congratulations to the production staff and volunteers of Pinoy Times Entertainment for a successful event. Watch out for their next concert the Charice World Tour live in Calgary on March 28 at the same venue. Get your tickets now.
