Pinoy Palooza was Amazing!


Last night I had the opportunity to check out BUFSA's Pinoy Palooza at BU Central and it was SUCH an amazing show. The show started with a performance by the beautful and talented, Alfa Garcia who performed many new songs as well as some of her old songs as well. Alfa was kind enough to dedicate her song "Home to Me" to Marissa Cuevas who was having a rough week. Alfa provided witty transitions between each song and performed with an inspiring confidence. Following Alfa's performance was an awesome performance by Matt Sia. One of my favorite performances of the night, was the peformance by Danny Katz who started his set with a very entertaining medley of 80's/early 90's cartoon theme songs such as the Ducktales theme song and the Smirfs theme song. Following Dan Katz was a performance by Jay Legaspi, who nervously introduced himself to the crowd of 60-70 people. Jay was wonderful as always and sang his usual songs such as the crowd favorite "T-Shirt and Sweats". The night ended with a perfomance by BUFSA's own Matthew Pereyra who breezed through his set. He seemed pretty nervous as well and forgot the lyrics to a few of his songs.. but he did an awesome job nonetheless.


I was lucky enough to catch up with Matthew Pereyra after the concert to ask him about his performance. He told me that he had a good time performing on stage and that he felt that his performance was "sweeet'. i love u matty.
