Bossa nova singer Sitti Navarro recounted the thrill of performing as the front act for the concert of Brazilian jazz legend Sergio Mendes.
Navarro’s stage nerves left her oblivious to the presence of another notable personality at the venue.
The concert, which was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Tuesday, was attended by President Benigno Aquino III. Aquino was with his sisters, a number of his Cabinet members, and his rumored girlfriend, television and radio personality Grace Lee.
“I wasn’t aware that the president was here. I didn’t know. Ang alam ko lang nanginginig ako the whole time I was singing because I was fronting for Sir Sergio Mendes,” Navarro told ABS-CBN News moments after the show.
Nevertheless, Navarro said she is happy to have performed for both Mendes and Aquino and hoped that they liked her performance.
“I didn’t know. But wow, sana nagustuhan nila,” she said.
During the concert’s front act, Navarro sung a bossa nova rendition of “Limang Dipang Tao,” among others.
Her latest album is “Sitti (Sessions),” which was released last year.
