And what did you ever do?
Barclay Martin and his Ensemble rightly got a standing ovation at the end of a concert on Sunday, November 8, at JCCC's Yardley Hall. Thanks to production by Quixotic and on-stage artillery from the Sampaguita Choir and the Sinag-Tala Dance Troupe, this was not your usual Barclay show. (The Star ran a review.)
Behold, the finale.
The concert was in celebration of the release of the Barclay-penned soundtrack to the upcoming documentary Zamboanga: Poverty, War, Music. The film traces the production of a January 2008 concert held in one of the Philippines' poorest regions.
As we wrote back in April, the concert found Martin performing alongside native Filipino musicians before a crowd of 10,000.
All proceeds from CD sales are going to a scholarship fund backed by the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging (that's the group that made the film with Barclay). Buy it online and contribute here.
Or, you can probably pick up a copy tonight at Jardine's, where the Barclay Martin Ensemble is playing two shows, at 6 and 8:30 p.m.
