Filipino rock band Juan Karlos and online singing sensation Katrina Velarde, two of the most sought-after artistes in the Philippines today, will be performing for the first time in Doha in a concert dubbed “Summer Jam in Qatar 2019.”
An estimated 2,200 concertgoers are expected to watch the show to be held at the Al Jewan Hall of Al Dana Club on August 9 and produced by Doha City Event Management & Services (DC Event) in partnership with July Dela Cruz.
“They are among the most sought-after performers in our country today. Katrina is widely popular among international voice coaches and reactors on YouTube, while Juan Karlos’ song Buwan is really a mega hit. We believe they are a perfect combination on stage and we are hoping to target mainly the young crowd and other music enthusiasts,” Victor Magnipes, CEO and Managing Director of DC Event told the media.
Juan Karlos’ front man JK is a Filipino-German singer-songwriter who rose to fame after he joined “The Voice Kids Philippines” in 2014. Last year, he released the song “Buwan” which immediately gained following taking the No.1 sport on Spotify Philippines Top 50 and on Philippines Viral 50. “Buwan” has already garnered more than 124 million views in YouTube.

Velarde, on the other hand, began her singing career at a tender age of seven joining singing contests. She is well known for covering the hits of international divas and local singing idols, as well as her impersonations. She has already performed across the US and other countries.
This upcoming show follows the success of the concerts of Philippines’ pop star Sarah Geronimo in January and the Philippines’ Concert King Martin Nievera and Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha just last month, both produced by DC Event.
“We want to be part of the thriving event management industry in Qatar. This year, our focus is more on bringing some of the best talents of the Philippines to Qatar to promote our music scene at the same time to provide quality entertainment. Producing a show is not an easy task but we, Filipinos, are known for our creativity, attention to details and dedication to our craft,”said Magnipes.
