MANILA, Philippines - Original Pilipino Music artists unite once again to inspire budding artists at the Elements Singing-Singwriting Camp at the Hacienda Isabella in Indang, Cavite.
Now on its sixth year, the Elements music camp is a five-day singing and songwriting workshop that aims to improve the musical talent of young Filipino aspiring artists through talks and seminars given by professional musicians.
The sixty participants were chosen through audition pieces they sent online.
The camp is headed by Ryan Cayabyab. The participants, called campers, will be mentored by some of the country’s most renowned artists including Jim Paredes, Audie Gemora, Joey Ayala, Chito Miranda, Ebe Dancel and Gloc 9.
Renowned songwriters Trina Belamide and Jungee Marcelo, conductor and musical arranger Gerard Salonga, and Star Records executive Jonathan Manalo also join as mentors.
Thryo Alfaro, co-winner of this year's PhilPop songwriting competition and an Elements camper in 2013, is also a mentor this year.
Aside from workshops, the mentors will also work on a tribute for the victims of the recent Paris attack.
Cayabyab said that they will be doing their own rendition of the song “Imagine” by John Lenon.
Jim Paredes will add few Filipino lines to the song to give it a “Filipino touch.”
Cayabyab explained that the tribute is not only for the victims in Paris but also “worldwide for those who suffered terrorism.”
After the news about the Paris attack came out, local celebrities joined the world in appealing to the public to pray for the victims.
