Charmaine Clamor
“My Harana: A Filipino Serenade”
National Radio Impact Date: 10/20/2008
National Street Date: 11/11/2008
America’s leading Filipino jazz vocalist,
CHARMAINE CLAMOR, the creator of “jazzipino,”
returns to her homeland in this collection of sublime
serenades. Singing in 8 languages and dialects of the
Philippines, Charmaine honors the ancient tradition of
harana -- romantic courtship expressed through music.
Normally performed exclusively by men (camped
beneath a lady’s window), Charmaine is the first female
to record these sacred songs, and the first artist to share
these Filipino treasures with the rest of the world.
“A dynamic new compass point in World Music”
-- Christopher Loudon, JAZZ TIMES
“Clamor is quite simply one of the finest vocalists to
come around in a long time.”
-- Jerry D’Souza, ALL ABOUT JAZZ
“She sings with an emotional depth missing in most
contemporary vocalists. Charmaine is the real deal.”
-- Bill Barton, CODA
