There was no plan for longevity.&quot;She added: &quot;It&#x27;s just as much a surprise for me that I’ve lasted this long, [that] my songs have lasted so long. So, it’s a testament to everybody that loves to listen to OPM (Original Pilipino Music).&quot;The “Friend of Mine” songwriter will also bring some friends to the stage to her concert.That includes Quesada&#x27;s longtime collaborator Raymond Lauchenco, the Philippines’ “Queen of Soul” Jaya, and crooner Felson Palad.&quot;I’m not just excited to be there with Odette and Jaya and Felson, I’m also very proud,&quot; said Lauchengco. &quot;It’s about celebrating music and even much more than that it’s about celebrating the audiences.&quot;Quesada’s two-stop show is a joint effort of The Filipino Channel, AIP Media, and Crossover Events – all which share a vision of celebrating Filipino talents globally.Said Kerwin Du, ABS-CBN International&#x27;s Head of Events: &quot;TFC&#x27;s goal in bringing events into these regions is to really show world class Filipino talents on the world stage. We, at TFC, consider Miss Odette Quesada as a generational talent.&quot;Rio Manotoc of Crossover Events echoed Du&#x27;s remarks.&quot;It&#x27;s really being able to bring in Filipino artists to other countries,&quot; said Manotoc, &quot;and, at the same time, crossing over to different genres of music.&quot;Quesada’s All Hits concert takes place on back-to-back nights - May 11 at the Alex Theater in Glendale and on May 12 at Redwood City’s Fox Theater.She said these live performances have given her extra motivation to keep building on her 40-year legacy.&quot;The passion is all in the live performances,&quot; the singer-songwriter said. &quot;I really enjoy performing <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(31, 31, 31);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none">— in front of a small crowd, a big crowd, doesn’t matter. There&#x27;s a real connection with the audience.&quot;&quot;I&#x27;m finally enjoying it myself and I think that radiates to people watching,&quot; Quesada continued.Tickets to Quesada&#x27;s 40th year concert are available on: <a href="http://mytfc.com/odettequesada40.">mytfc.com/odettequesada40</a>
