KZ Tandingan napiling kumanta ng unang Tagalog Disney song para sa ‘Raya And The Last Dragon’
CONFIRMED! Ang Kapamilya singer-actress na si KZ Tandingan nga ang magbibigay-boses sa tinaguriang first-ever Filipino-language song mula sa Disney.
Ito’y para sa upcoming project ng Disney, ang Southeast Asia-themed animation na “Raya and the Last Dragon.”
Mismong ang Disney Philippines ang pumili sa Asia’s Soul Supreme para kumanta ng “Gabay,” base na rin sa pahayag ng studio marketing head na si Allie Benedicto.
Ayon pa sa Disney PH, ang pelikula ay inspired ng iba’t ibang Southeast Asian culture kabilang na ang Pilipinas, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia at Malaysia, “Disney found it fitting to launch ‘Gabay’ as a way for us to celebrate the film and connect with our Filipino fans.”
Ani Benedicto, ang “Gabay” ay ang unang official Disney song sa salitang Tagalog, “It demonstrates our commitment to work with local creative talents to tell our stories in a locally relevant manner.”
Iri-release ang “Gabay” sa March 5, “coinciding with the Disney+ premiere of ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ in the United States.” At susundan naman ito ng pagpapalabas sa bansa very soon.
Mensahe ni KZ, “I’m very grateful and I feel very proud to be singing in my language, and show off its beauty to the rest of the world. I am proud to be part of history.”
Aniya pa sa kanyang Instagram post, “I grew up watching Disney movies. Finally, there is a Disney Princess who I can feel a very strong connection to, and that is Raya as the first one inspired by Southeast Asia.”
Sabi pa ng Kapamilya singer, ang “Gabay” ay tungkol sa “trust, strength, and unity.”
“I love that the song reminds us that sometimes we feel we are weak, especially when we are alone, but if we just learn to trust each other, to come together, and to unite, only then are we able to change the world,” sabi pa ni KZ.
Kung matatandaan, ilang Filipino artists na rin ang napili ng Disney Philippines para kumanta ng theme song ng kanilang mga pelikula kabilang na riyan sina Janella Salvador (How Far I’ll Go for Moana), Moira dela Torre (Reflection for Mulan), at Darren Espanto and Morissette Amon (A Whole New World for Aladdin).
