"MAALA-ALA MO KAYA?-MAR"
A COLLECTION OF PHILIPPINES'' MOST CHERISHED LOVE SONGS
MAR DUREZA’s captivating songs in the native Filipino dialects and his interpretation of popular Philippine “kundimans” (love songs) can be best described as soft, melodious, and at times, sensual.
Via Times columnist and very active community leader, Norma Manankil, once wrote, “There is a feeling of instant romantic mood when you listen to MAR’s collection of nostalgic “kundimans...” VIA Times Publisher &
Executive Producer of Chicago Philippine Reports TV (CPRTV), Veronica Leighton, says, “You forget all the cares of the world when you hear Mar
sing the songs you haven’t heard for so long and part of your bygone days...what a nostalgia!”
Mar’s newly-released CD, “MAALAALA MO KAYA? - MAR” includes some of the Philippines’ cherished love songs such as “Dahil sa ’yo”,“Ikaw”,“Buhat”,“Dahil Sa Isang Bulaklak”,“Sapagkat Kami Ay Tao lamang","Kapantay Ay
Langit”,"Lahat Ng Araw”,"Saan Ka Man Naroroon”,"Gaano
Ko Ikaw Kamahal” and a sampling of Visayan sensibilities expressed in “Matudnila” and “Ay Kalisud.”
Arranged and conducted by Warren Kime, considered to be one of the best trumpet players in the music industry, background tracks by an all-American band display jazz influence at least in some of the songs. He practically made the songs his own, producing a new brand of Filipino music of popular “kundimans” with a touch of jazz in it.
As MAR DUREZA came to be Kime’s favorite singer, a beautiful friendship and teamwork developed between the two musicians. Together, they would perform in concerts, weddings, ballroom dances, and all kinds of social
functions all over Chicagoland, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri,Florida and Canada for some time.
“MAR is one of the Philippines’ greatest singers,” says Warren Kime. “He possesses versatility, magnificent voice, wonderful vocal control, and phrasing, a three octave
range… he is actually comparable to the great Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.”

Nelson Doreza, started his career in the music world as an undefeated champion for twelve (12) consecutive weeks in the nationwide contest of “Tawag ng Tanghalan” for amateur https://www.tradebit.coms was followed by his performing engagements in the renowned clubs and hotel
lounges in Manila and Makati, and on the Pines and Hyatt Terraces Plaza Hotels in Baguio City.

Migrating to the United States, MAR’s impressive singing resume and stage presence instantly appealed to the management of The Abbey Springs Country Club of Fontana, Wisconsin and the Harbor fringes of the Lake Geneva hostelry.
Following his Wisconsin stint, Chicago and its suburbs became the professional home base of the unforgettable MAR DUREZA where he became a regular performer as singer-guitarist at places like “Chalet of
Northbrook”,"Billy’s of Lincolnwood”,“Di Santis”,“Chi
Linn” and “Wishing Well” among many others.
