Next stop for sing-along songs and danceable tunes at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, California on March 26

ABS-CBN International and TFC Events’ return to live shows proved to be auspicious as the Los Angeles leg of Revelation: The Concert Tour in the U.S. was well-attended. Stellar artists Dingdong Avanzado, his wife Jessa Zaragoza, and their daughter Jayda had the Alex Theater chockfull of fans from various parts of California, some coming as far as Arizona.

It was clear that the audience has been looking forward to in-person events after staying home these past two years since the pandemic began. Annabel De Leon of Rancho Cucamonga happily declared, “Finally we had the chance to get together and connect.”

Avanzado assured the crowd that their only job that night was to have fun, and fun was had as the concertgoers were treated to an array of songs that took them down memory lane.

The original Prince of Filipino Pop, Avanzado, and his wife, Zaragoza, touted as the Phenomenal Diva of the Philippines, had the audience singing along to their hearts’ content and dancing to the songs that were nostalgic, fun, and familiar.

Their daughter, Jayda, was a revelation herself proving she was an artist of substance as she sang songs from her official debut album. She also accompanied herself, playing the keyboard, and then the guitar, showing proficiency in her craft.

Developing and perfecting her artistry has always been Jayda’s mantra. She explains that for her, the highest form of compliment is when people recognize her artistry, “which is something I work hard at, and I am really proud of.”

Fely Pasamba of Los Angeles enthused that she loved the concert “because I love to dance, and we love Jessa and Dingdong and their daughter.”

Pearl Sarabia of Fontana announced that they had so much fun. “We’ve seen Dingdong before but this one is different because it’s the whole family. It’s a great show!”

And Ed Rame, also from Los Angeles, shared that “you can feel the inspiration that wrapped the entire theater that truly brought so much joy.” He added, “It's a well-conceptualized concert, executed well and performed excellently.”

It was a night of fun and many amazing revelations.

Annabel of Rancho Cucamonga also emphasized how the show was refreshing. “It’s a good reminder that God is always faithful, and they brought that message loud and clear tonight,” she adds.

Dingdong Avanzado is known as the Philippines’ Prince of Pop. He is a multi-platinum recording artist and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most outstanding concert performers in the Philippines over the last two decades.

His hit songs like “Makapiling Ka Sana”, “Basta’t Kasama Kita”, “To Love Again”, “Tatlong Beinte Singko” and “Paalam Na” all became love anthems and movie themes in the late eighties and early nineties making Dingdong one of the most celebrated recording artists of his time.

Dingdong has one distinct thing in common with other notable Philippine singers and music artists like Ogie Alcasid, Randy Santiago, Carlo Orosa, Louie Ocampo, Mel Villena, Rowell Santiago, and Gary Valenciano, to name a few – they were all members of Kundirana.

The Kundirana is a renowned high school music ministry and organization composed of 3rd and 4th year high school students from La Salle Green Hills. The group is known for developing successful professional singers and musical artists. Once chosen from a rigorous audition, a Kundirana member undergoes intense training in both singing and dancing, eventually becoming ambassadors of goodwill.

Jessa Zaragoza is known as the Philippines’ Phenomenal Diva due to the success of her hit song “Bakit Pa?”. The song became the number one ballad in the Philippines in the late 90s. It is also the carrier single of her album, Just Can’t Help Feelin, which reached sextuple platinum months after its release in 1996.

She is married to Dingdong Avanzado and has a daughter, Jayda.

 

Jayda, Janelle Amanda Loyola Avanzado in real life, is Dingdong Avanzado and Jessa Zaragoza’s only daughter. She is now making a name in the music industry as a singer-songwriter with her hit composition “Happy For You”, a single from her debut EP, In My Room, which was released in 2018.

Jayda also performed at 1MX, the biggest International Filipino Music Festival,

held in Singapore in 2019 and 2021 in Manila.

Jayda is one the Philippines’ rising stars of her generation.
