Lea Salonga sings “Kanta Pilipinas” theme song

Soon to be aired on TV5, “Kanta Pilipinas” will be TV5‘s biggest reality singing search that will call for the entire nation to sing. It’s not a mere singing contest as it will delve deeper into the lives of each contestant. “Kanta Pilipinas” will transform the lives of these ordinary individuals to be the star that the entire Philippines will admire. The program includes a Cinderella-makeover segment that will further boost each contestants appeal and that will catapult them to singing sensation status.

Multi-awarded international singer and thespian Lea Salonga wants to see “a real commitment to the craft of singing” in today’s generation of singers. “Kanta Pilipinas” is open to solo acts, duos, bands and vocal groups. Line-produced by Futuretainment, it features a music camp where contestants can hone their singing skills and other aspects of the craft like song interpretation and song writing.
