Pinoy rock legends come together for ‘SenyorROCK’

The country’s rock legends will team up in a concert dubbed “SenyorROCK,” to be held at the Hard Rock Café Makati on April 8.

Participating are Joey “Pepe” Smith and Wally Gonzales of the legendary Juan dela Cruz Band, Sampaguita, Resty Fabunan of Maria Cafra, and Lolita Carbon of Asin.

Pepe is synonymous to Pinoy rock, having written some of the genre’s biggest hits including “Himig Natin,” “Balong Malalim,” “Beep Beep,” “Rock N Roll Sa Ulan,” and “Titser’s Enemi No. 1.”

Wally is a respected guitarist that many of those in the current music scene look up to.

Sampaguita, on the other hand, is recognized as the one and only Queen of Pinoy Rock. The former dancer-fashion model’s long line of hits includes classics such as “Bonggahan,” “Tao,” “Sa Diyos Lamang” and, of course, “Nosi Balasi.”

Resty is considered one of the country’s lead guitar greats. Among his contributions in the Pinoy Rock tapestry are “Kamusta Mga Kaibigan” and “Estranghero.”

Lolita is revered as local folk rock goddess. Some of her hits are “Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran,” “Usok” and “Biyaheng Langit.”

“SenyorROCK” is produced by Grace Apolinario and Bing Pala-Apolinario, and presented by Gerry’s Grill in cooperation with First Option Events and Entertainment.
