Ebe Dancel's music transcends generations, and it was at his first headlining concert over the weekend where the audience proved it.

On Saturday (02/29), fans from all across the country came together to celebrate the music of one of the Philippines' most iconic singer-songwriters at his 20th anniversary concert at the Metrotent Convention Center in Pasig. The concert sold-out within hours since it was announced back in late October, proving the impact Dancel's work has in the local music scene. Despite the multiple concert cancelations Asia has seen lately, it was a blessing that Dancel's show with The Manila String Machine managed to push through. It came to a close with a glorious standing ovation.

Ebe Dancel's concert feature a 20-song setlist packed with old favorites and his latest offering 'Hanggang Kailan Kita Mahihintay,' which was re-arranged by Chino David. Copies of Dancel's latest album Baliktanaw also launched at the concert, alongside exclusive merch from Linya-Linya.
