My Libera Story

My only wish is to see you guys perform right before my eyes. :)

Just lately I received a message both on my FB and Libera360 account informing me that I was the first winner of their Libera Philippine Project contest. The prize? An autographed Libera Peace album. 


I hope it would arrive really soon since I've already sent them my mailing address.


I've been a fan of Libera since last year-April 2010; but I haven't posted a thing on 'How I came to know them' yet. Uh, I just observed lately that it has been a trend for Libera fans to post articles on how they met the best boys choir in the whole world.


So, here's how I came to know them.


Just before I left for Baguio last year, I went to a CD store with my friends to just randomly look for any interesting albums on sale.We have no plans of buying anything anyway. Then, I was browsing along the Classical section of the store when I saw their album Libera New Dawn. I was very much intrigued to see this small strip of yellow paper which says, "Featuring the song Bayan Ko" and to think that 'that small strip of yellow paper' was posted on a foreign album of who-knows-what. (note: I have no idea who they were back then).


As I was browsing the net after getting back home from Baguio, I decided  to search for them and I realized they had JUST visited the country that month AND they were actually guest performers of Showtime in one of the show's episodes. They sang Bayan Ko perfectly and I had goosebumps while watching the video.


I decided to buy my first Libera album- New Dawn before leaving for college but then ended up buying their 2-disc album Eternal. It was where I heard my very much favorite song Orinoco Flow (though Sanctus is also another favorite since its tune was that of Canon) After that I had New Dawn and Peace. I'm still saving up for their Angels in Concert DVD. And just last month I finally had the courage to ask my aunt abroad to buy me the Peace Deluxe edition. I hope to have it before June 2012 so that I can at least use the 18-month calendar included. >_<


P.S. 
The first time I told my best friend, Aubrey, about Libera I was surprised to know that she had known it years before me. Okay, so she's in a Catholic choir while I've never been a member of any choir before. The nun who's been training them was a 'sort of' avid Libera fan. 


It was also surprising to discover that we both admire Tom Cully among all other members (that was sort of bias.lol.) 

But all of them are really good at singing. I mean, they're NOT there just for nothing. They're 'The LIBERA'.

Libera all the way~!!!
