SINGER TRIA BASCON is better known in foreign shores for her jazz renditions as she has performed all over the world in music lounges in plush hotels and in cruise ships where she honed her singing talent. She now releases her first local album for PolyEast Records, “Wanderlust”, which contains 13 tracks jazz lovers would surely adore.
“Matagal ng may offer for me to cut an album but I waited patiently as I know everything happens at the right time,” she says. “And I think now is the right and proper time kaya I really prepared hard for it. We used a live orchestra to accompany me, composed of the best musicians of various nationalities.”
Working with her in the album are Moreno Donadel, an Italian jazz/classical pianist, Asia’s premier vocal group The Company, renowned Filipino-Chinese singer-songwriter Jose Mari Chan, and Aquarela, a Bossa-Latin group. The album has an original Tagalog song, “Magkikita Pa Rin Naman Tayo,” written specially for Tria by the producer of the album, Moy Ortiz of The CompanY. Tria has performed all over Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and such South Pacific Islands as French Polynesia, Fiji Islands and Tonga. This helped her sing in various languages that delight her multi-cultural audiences. Tria’s carrier single, “I’m Old Fashioned”, comes with a well produced music video. Other good cuts in her album are “The Party’s Over,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “La Belle Vie,” “With A Little Help From My Friends” and “Anos Dourados”.
