The distinctive sound of Libera has travelled the world in the last few years. After the group’s first visit in the Philippines last October 2009 which became a remarkable success, they’re coming back with the release of their most-awaited and first-ever CHRISTMAS ALBUM, with 16 tracks collecting traditional and new unique arrangements of classical and contemporary holiday tunes.
EMI Music through Polyeast Records releases Libera’s highly-anticipated first Christmas album. With their exciting mix of secular and sacred Christmas favorites including Joy to the World, O Holy Night, The First Nowell, Carol of the Bells, In Dulci Jubilo and White Christmas, join Libera as they bring in the holiday season with Christmas Album packed in Deluxe CD set that includes exclusive song cards.
Their most recent release, Peace, was #1 in the UK, Japanese and Philippines classical charts; in the US, it peaked at #2 and hit the Heat Seekers chart. The boys in the group, under the musical direction of Robert Prizeman, come together to produce truly extraordinary music with results unlike any other vocal group around today.
They first visited the Philippines in October 2009 and came back the year after for a sold out performance at the Philippine International Convention Center. They also performed at the Pacific Grand Ballroom of Waterfront Hotel, Lahug, Cebu City. The concert repertoire for the tour included “Orinoco Flow,” by Enya, which makes reference to the island of Cebu. The encore song was “Bayan Ko,” which they sang in Tagalog.
