Los Angeles–Filipino-American jazz singer Charmaine Clamor’s newly released CD, My Harana: A Filipino Serenade, is most likely heading for the charts, says JazzWeek, which had Clamor’s previous CD Flippin’ Out in its World Music and Jazz charts.

Clamor is known for introducing jazzipino, a hybrid of American jazz with Filipino melodies, to mainstream listeners.

“I’ve made it my artistic mission to bring the beautiful sounds of my birth country, the Philippines, to the entire world,” said Clamor. “Having the languages of my homeland being heard all across America, on radio stations in every state, is tremendously gratifying. I’m inspired to work even harder to promote Pinoy jazz.”

My Harana: A Filipino Serenade contains twelve beloved Filipino courtship songs, performed in eight different Filipino tongues. Accompanied by modern and indigenous instruments, including the kulintang and bandurria, Clamor’s latest creation is earning enthusiastic notices from music critics around the globe.

JazzReview wrote, “My Harana: A Filipino Serenade is the quintessential wistful collection of moonlit romances. Ms. Clamor’s diversity in craft and expression makes her one of very few that could deliver such a project. This young woman again proves to the industry that she is a polished performer who is on course for a titanic career of iconic measures.”

Now available on Amazon, iTunes, CDBaby.com, My Harana will be released officially on Sunday, November 9, at the Catalina Bar & Grill Jazz Club in Hollywood. Reservations can be made at 323/4662210.
