Dingdong Avanzado, Jessa Zaragosa, daughter Jada on U.S. concert tour
REDWOOD CITY, California — Dingdong Avanzado, “The Original Prince of Pinoy Pop,” his wife, “Phenomenal Diva of the Philippines” Jessa Zaragoza, and their daughter, Jayda, an up and coming artist, will entertain fans with their “Revelation: The Concert Tour in the U.S.”
The tour starts on March 12 at the Alex Theater in Glendale and on March 26 at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, both in California.
“Many things were revealed to us during this pandemic” Avanzado said, adding that they will be revealing several announcements with their viewers during their tour.
Dingdong and Jessa’s singing careers have spanned three decades, and they have earned multiple gold and platinum hits and award-winning titles. They have also been honored by various industry award-giving bodies like the Aliw Awards, Awit Awards, Himig Handog, and the PMPC Star Awards for Music.
Family on tour
The family has done performances together, but Dingdong recalls these were mostly when Jayda was still young. “Jayda was around 13 or 14 years old, and she did not have her music out back then,” recounts Dingdong. “People would refer to her as the daughter of Dingdong, or the daughter of Jessa who likes to sing.”
Jayda has shown impressive musicality from a very early age, writing her first song when she was 12. Since then, she has written more songs, done collaborations, held her own concert, and has won several awards.
Fulfilling a mission through music
“We will be revealing a lot during the show,” Jessa shares. Dingdong explains how the pandemic has created the lonely feeling of being isolated from what people were once familiar with: friends, family, the work environment, and social activities.
“There is a void, an emptiness, and for me that longing is filled by your relationship with the Lord, connecting with the people that you love, and of course, music.” He adds, “This is what I realized being in this business for more than three decades now – the power of music and what it can do to the soul.”
Revelation: The Concert Tour in the U.S. will be celebrating so many aspects of the life of Dingdong, Jessa, and Jayda. The first leg will be on March 12 in Southern California at the Alex Theater, 216 N Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91203. Ticket prices start at $50.
