MONDO fuses folk, blues and rock influences in new music

The event will also serve as the official launch of their single If I Tell You Why, coupled with a music video.

MONDO, composed of Mondo Castro (formerly of The Pin-Up Girls) on vocals and guitar, Drei Paman on lead guitar, Dax Balmeo on rhythm guitar, Gaia Royeca on keyboards and backing vocals, Mico Marasigan on drums, and Lui Rodriguez on bass, will be joined by Rise High, Robyn M, Soleil Misalucha and the Violent Playground. The gates will open at 7 p.m. and the entrance ticket is P300.

"The (eventgoers) can mingle with us," MONDO frontman Mondo told The STAR in an exclusive virtual chat on what the attendees can expect at the show. "Of course, the video will be debuted there. We'll put up a screen and play the video. A lot of musicians will be there, for sure. So, it's going to be fun," he added.

If I Tell You Why is a ditty that the MONDO frontman penned while he was battling with COVID. "So, I put music to the lyrics, I put a melody to the lyrics while having COVID. So, it's really about expressing your emotions by not saying, I love you. Even if I tell you why, you're not really saying that you love the person. It's hard to express for some people," he mused.

Accompanying the track is a music video that was filmed at Bourbon New Orleans bar in Makati City.
