The rise of Filipino singer Arnel Pineda is one of the most inspiring underdog stories in rock. Since the early ‘80s, the musician had entertained locals around the Philippines and Hong Kong in a variety of popular bands—though his immense vocal talents went overlooked by the rest of the world. That is, until the band Journey found his covers on YouTube and asked him to become their new lead singer. Since, Pineda has been a joy to watch, finally provided with canvas large enough for his soaring voice. At the CPA he’s joined by none other than Bamboo Mañalac, singer of both Rivermaya and Bamboo.
