I was lucky enough to also cut a few records myself. There was no plan for longevity. It’s just as much a surprise for me that I’ve lasted this long, actually my songs have lasted so long. So it’s a testament to everybody that loves to listen to OPM,&quot; Quesada said.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4rOQ5cAK3N/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A9388704.800000012%2C%22ls%22%3A2339776.4000000358%2C%22le%22%3A2340323.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1185" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div> </div><p>The “Friend of Mine” songwriter will bring some friends onstage -- her longtime collaborator Raymond Lauchenco, the Philippines&#x27; Queen of Soul Jaya, and crooner Felson Palad.</p><p>’I&#x27;m not just excited to be there with Odette and Jaya and Felson, for the shows on May 11 and 12, I’m also very proud. And I’m also very grateful because, as Odette mentioned a while ago, this isn’t about us. It’s about celebrating music and, even much more than that, it’s about celebrating the audiences. Kayo po, who have been listening to us for the last four decades. This about you,&quot; Lauchengo said.</p><div> </div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C31iQAuLgvo/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A9474811.699999988%2C%22ls%22%3A2339776.4000000358%2C%22le%22%3A2340323.800000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="820" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>This two-stop show is a joint effort from TFC, AIP Media, and Crossover Events, who all share a vision of celebrating Filipino talents globally.</p><p>&quot;TFC’s goal in bringing events into these regions is to really show world-class Filipino talents on the world stage. We at TFC consider Ms. Odette Quesada as a generational talent really having produced multiple hits since the &#x27;80s,&quot; Kerwin Du, ABS-CBN International Head of Events, said.</p><p>&quot;It brings us back to what we stood for at <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);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">Crossover Events</span>: it’s really being able to bring in Filipino artists to other countries and at the same time crossing over to different genres of music,&quot; Rio Manotoc, <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);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">Crossover Events</span>, said.</p><p>Odette Quesada’s &quot;All Hits&quot; will take place on back-to-back nights -- May 11 at the Alex Theater in Glendale; and May 12 at Redwood City’s Fox Theater. </p><p>For Quesada, these live performances have given her extra motivation to keep building on her 40-year legacy.</p><p>&quot;The passion is all in the live performances. Like I said I really enjoy performing in front of a small crowd, a big crowd, doesn’t matter There’s a real connection with the audience.
