Charmaine Clamor Sings "Dahil Sa Yo" (Jazzipino) in San Diego

[KaipoHawaii]

Right on Inday, and what a beautiful woman you are. You brought back all my memories of my Nanay and Tatay, and my Filipino culture. Dahil Sa Yo brought tears to my eyes. I have such a love for Jazz, my father and uncles were Jazz musician and we always had music in the house. I didn't get to your UHHilo performance last night, hope I can catch you another time. Fortunate that I discovered your music. Mabuhay and Aloha!

I got to see her in Bergenfield, NJ last year or the year before . She was fantastic. I wish she would be here more often to enrich the local music culture in this town. Would be great if she was based over here, then we'd get to enjoy her lots more often.

Beautiful version of a classic! You are truly just beautiful, Ms. Clamor. i am a fan of your work. You're rare in the Filipino entertainment. Which is unfortunate.

[joaquintagarao]

What a great singer you are Charmaine! Not to remiss mentioning your guitar playing compadre who played the guitar beautifully.

[naturalbeaful]

i love her voice, her dress is beautiful, she is beautiful

[mabanggo]

great vocals & a class act!

[ishta]

Nice. Never heard of her. Been out of PI for a while. This is a bolero song really. And if you want it to swing some, you need to Cubanize/Puerto Ricanize it a bit. The Django Rhinehardt guitar strumming killed it, plus he got that amp so loud. Most Pimoy's won't dig this or they would but it won't sink immediately.

She has a good voice though, terrific singer and salvaged the number. I'll definitely check her out. I am in ABQ so may need to visit my sister in California.

[nichya11]

loved it

[walterkirnfan]

New favorite singer. Great song.

[jmoisesreyes]

damn this is a good version of dahil sa yo!

[PinoyJazzBuff]

Far and away the best version of this classic song ever recorded. Miss Charmaine has rescued an old and tired tune and made it fresh and relevant again. Jazzipino has arrived!

[VIDE0DR0ME]

I have no doubt Ms Clamor's velvety-smooth voice is beautiful, and her instrumentalists did a great job supporting and moving the piece along in sultrier directions. Yet, I can't help but feel that the original is more suitable for this ernest and heartfelt love song. Slick sophistry - almost appurtenant to jazz - can sometimes get in the way of expressing that which only requires simplicity. Sometimes, saying too much can diminish the effectiveness of a simple message.

[rodericksibelius]

[angharisal54]

Another great interpretation of a great Filipino song!

[bordone]

[jo0772]

hi mae, i love this video, kinda reminds me on how i used to see you!! i wonder how long ago was this? Anyway i'm so proud of you

[Swingingflipper]

I love Charmaine Clamor. So much class! She gives a good image to Pilipinos. I want to see her live concert.

[Jazman1942]

Nice singer and piano trio. I'm a big Steve Hass fan too. This mix is too guitar heavy and that guitar player needs to listen to more Freddy Green. He's not in the groove.

[USflipmonger]

Mabe so. But when the girl looks and sounds as good as this I don't really notice what you're talking about.

[sighsofrelief]

don't know if that's the guitarist's fault, so much as it is the person who mixed the audio for the video.

[uberathlete]

Her voice kinda reminds me of Kuh Ledesma.

[Swingingflipper]

Except Kuh can't swing like this! Charmaine takes Filipino music to a whole new level.

[micvaler]

What an amazing voice! I can listen to this over and over again.

[Swingingflipper]

Take that, Imelda. The best version I've ever heard. You go girl! Mabuhay!!!

[milesaway56]

Now THAT'S singing. Have no idea what the words are (Taglog? Philipino?) but I feel the emotions. The band is super swinging. Nice solos. Clamor is a modern classic.

[mabanggo]

@milesaway56 FYI It's TAGALOG (the Philippine language) and FILIPINO/PILIPINO is the race of people!
