When it comes to the ultimate karaoke song that is always played at every Filipino party, one song comes to mind: Kitchie Nadal's medley.

A compilation of her greatest hits combined into one song that evokes both happiness and sadness, allowing every singer to unleash their voices during a karaoke night.

During the media conference for her 20th anniversary concert, held at the Awakening Church in Malabon, Kitchie shared that she only performed her medley once when they were in Japan. 

"Sa totoo lang, isang beses ko lang ginawa yun, many many years ago nung nagpunta kami ng japan. Since bago pa nga ako nun, and we had to perform on small bars, but one time sa isang bar wala silang gamit nun and all they had was a Karaoke and they look for my song. Ayun yung kinanta ko and hindi na siya naulit," Kitchie said. 

(Actually, I only did it once, many, many years ago, when we went to Japan. Since I was still new, we had to perform in small bars, but one time in a bar they didn't have that equipment, and all they had was a karaoke. They looked for my song, and that's what I sang, and it never happened again)

Kitchie's medley became one of the go-to songs of every Pinoy family while doing karaoke. 

Celebrating 20 years in music 

Dubbed "Same Ground: Kitchie Nadal’s 20th Anniversary Concert," the homecoming show chronicles the singer-songwriter’s journey as an artist who blazed the trail for women in alternative and pop music with uncompromising individuality.

The solo concert marks her return to the Philippine music scene, featuring special guests, including some of her closest peers in the industry.

“We have a lot of surprises in store for everyone who has supported my work for almost two decades,” shares the award-winning singer-songwriter. 

“I can’t wait to go back home and celebrate this landmark feat with my friends, family members, and fans," Kitchie added. 

It has been 20 years since Kitchie launched her multi-platinum debut album, and she remains relevant to the current generation. She is still among the top 10 most streamed OPM female artists on Spotify Philippines and has recently gone viral. Gen Zs and younger millennials are rediscovering her impact on Y2K pop culture and fashion.

Aside from surprise numbers and show-stopping performances, Kitchie will also share the stage with several local artists, including her contemporaries in the band scene, such as Barbie Almalbis, Aia de Leon, Lougee Basabas, Hannah Romawac, Acel Bisa, Monty Macalino of Mayonnaise, and more.
