As the heart loves, the soul sings. And come Saturday, Feb. 10, love will reign supreme once more as Kuh Ledesma, the Philippines' one and only pop diva, will be performing inspiring songs of undying love and devotion at Hacienda Isabella in Tagaytay City in a show aptly titled “The Diva Sings the Love Songs of the Divas."

'The Diva Sings the Love Songs of the Divas'

Throughout her musical career, Kuh has performed some of the most popular and most revered songs of love ever written. And what makes the performance of these songs more unforgettable is the soulful and heart-rending style that only Kuh can deliver. 

If music is the language of the soul, then love is the expression of one’s heart. And if there is truth to the adage, "for Love is blind and lovers cannot see,” then surely music is what speaks to the heart when all else fails.

Kuh may have done countless Valentine-themed concerts during her lengthy musical career. Still, she never seems to tire of doing these performances because she gets to appreciate the many facets that love has brought to her life. 

And even at this stage in her career, she still discovers that there is more to love than just love. She has learned that a higher and greater love transcends all human knowledge, affections, and understanding, a Love that lifts her spirit ever higher than before.

Kuh's Feb. 10 audience will get to listen to and be inspired by some of the most popular love songs of legendary music divas like Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, and many more. It will be a musical evening only a diva like Kuh can pull off.

Events like her upcoming Feb. 10 pre-Valentine concert also allow Kuh to pay it forward and express her love and support for OPM artists by showcasing the talents of both established OPM performers and up-and-coming ones. 

For this pre-Valentine event, Kuh has invited veteran stage actor and adult contemporary crooner Bo Cerrudo and promising new baritone singer Nathan Randall.

Music, after all, is the language of every singer’s soul. And no one can ever doubt Kuh’s integrity and truth when it comes to her singing because “from out of the abundance of her heart,” her music rings louder than any spoken words.

For Kuh, Valentine’s Day is not just about celebrating the beauty and glory of love. It’s also about how the heart expresses love. And it is through her music that Kuh can best express what her heart truly wants to say.
