February 9 ------ Two legendary acts, two milestone concerts — one unforgettable month for Filipino music fans. From the grand serenade of Ogie Alcasid, Louie Ocampo, and Ryan Cayabyab in "OAC: Original and Absolute Classics" to the electrifying, decades-spanning journey of The Dawn in "Almost 40," The T-Zone brings you up close with the artists who have shaped OPM across genres and generations and coming to you live this February. A night of legends: Ogie, Louie O. and Mr. C set the stage for an unforgettable serenade
What happens when you put Ogie Alcasid, Louie Ocampo and Ryan Cayabyab on one stage? You get a once-in-a-lifetime Valentine's concert that's bound to carve its place in OPM history. Titled "OAC: Original and Absolute Classics" and set for February 13 at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort North, this isn't just another star-studded show — it's a grand serenade by three of the biggest names in the industry. And if their banter is anything like it was during the media con, audiences are in for a night of pure musical magic and mischief in staccato.
How did this genius idea all come together? Divine intervention, if you ask Ogie — multi-awarded singer-songwriter, hitmaker and arguably the most earnest pillar of OPM today. Apparently, he had a lightbulb moment while brainstorming with Solaire. "We were thinking about what concept we could come up with for this season; we were the ones who put on a show last year as well. Then I said, 'Why don't we bring in Mr. C, Louie and perhaps myself for Valentine's?'" he recounts. Mr. C, of course, being none other than National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab and Louie Ocampo, the prolific composer who dominated the OPM ballad scene in the 1980s and 1990s with the most timeless hits. "Solaire said, 'It's a great idea!' I mean... it's like the Lord nudged me to do this, so thank you, Lord, for making it happen," Ogie adds, still in awe of his luck. "For me, it's a wonderful opportunity. A great honor to be with these two gentlemen who have contributed so much to the Philippine music scene. Looking at them, they're like the Mozart and Chopin of OPM — serious musicians but down-to-earth and very giving."
