The Singing Diplomat, pays tribute to the Philippines.
Tag as the Singing Diplomat from the Swiss Embassy in
Manila, Mr. Raoul Imbach is not stopping in introducing his music, like in his
past country assignment Imbach usually records songs from his heart as a
gesture of acknowledging his new found home.
Imbach is the Deputy Head Mission of Switzerland Embassy,
he is living while working in the Philippines for the past three years, and
recently he revived his band “The Wild Tortillas” to accompany him not just for
gigs, but for his 11th album that comprise of 14 track under the
title of “Tribute To The Philippines”.
His first ever USB album is officially launch last
November 19 at The Marco Polo Hotel in Ortigas Center. At the very early age, Imbach said that singing is his passion
but he clarify that he is not after the fame or money rather an expression of
his talent, and to give back. The proceed of the album he donate it to charity,
like this time it goes to Carmelite Convent of Pink Sisters in Batangas City.
Imbach originally write all the songs with the help of
his band that compose of Filipino members, all of them have Tagalog lyrics. One
of the song is called “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” that serve as the
carrier single.
“I usually do it in every country I go, I do one songs of
the language of the country, but in the Philippines it started one, and then
two and three, and now half of the album is in Tagalog, it represent a lot of
things that I lived here, the things I’ve done here, the way I feel about the
Philippines, so it’s a tribute, because eventually I will leave, but I would
like something to leave behind, and Philippines has a lot to offer, it’s nice
to recognize it thru music.” Imbach said.
He also wish to make a cover of “Anak” of Freddie
Aguilar, but it didn’t reach the deadline for the album due to some copyright
issues, but he is still working on it and hopefully soon he can record it since
he adore Ka Freddie and all of his nationalistic songs.
I also ask Imbach if he open to join some reality TV
singing search, as we all know many foreigners or expat lately are into this
kind of search, and he welcome the idea, even though admitted he is too old to
join such competitions, but he is willing and able if given a chance.

Are you the kind of person that always looks to see what kind of expensive your neighbor's kid is playing? Or are you worried about what your friends are making as far as their salary? Not happy in your marriage, friendships, or not being satisfied with what you have at the moment? Some people are wondering, why despite the fact that I am just a stay-at-home mother and a not-so-full-time photographer, we are still able to manage to go through the day to day lives being happy and having no (or at times with quite a few) debts from other people. It's just a matter of perspective actually. You need to learn the art of contentment. Being content is not being driven by always wanting more. I know that ambition is a prized trait in our society. I am not saying that ambition is wrong. What I am saying is that the constant striving for more and not enjoying what you have or where you are at the moment will drive you crazy. Things do and will change. Have the at...
I was at a beautiful wedding recently, and I had a small moment of revelation about the meaning of wearing a wedding ring. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. Today I Found Out the history and symbolism behind the tradition of wearing a wedding ring and why, in most western cultures, it’s worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring finger. Wedding rings today are a billion dollar sentiment of love, but no one can really say for sure when this age old tradition actually started. Some believe that the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings comes from ancient Egypt, about 4800 years ago. Sedges, rushes and reeds, growing alongside the well-known papyrus were twisted and braided into rings for fingers an other decorative ornaments worn by the women in those days. The circle was the symbol of eternity, with no beginning or end, not only to the Egyptians, but many other ancient cult...
