Neocolours to perform in Dubai

Filipino band Neocolours will stage a post-Valentine’s concert in Dubai on February 26 at Al Nasr Leisureland.

The event, dubbed Neocolours Retro Love, will serve as a reunion concert of the band, whose debut album, Making It, in 1989 helped usher in the Philippines’ band explosion in the 1990s.

Neocolours was formed in 1988 in Manila out of the remnants of a mid-1980s vocal group, with founding members Jimmy Antiporda (keyboards), Ito Rapadas (vocalist), Marvin Querido (second keyboards), Josel Jimenez (guitar), Paku Herrera (bass) and Nino Regalado (drums).

Making It reached platinum, as did the second album, Tuloy Pa Rin, which featured a number of tracks that have become classic OPM songs.
