“Flow” Music Video Coming Soon!
We finished shooting the music video for "Flow," a track off my upcoming album, "Something Good." I am excited to share it with you! Here is a photo from the shoot. I am with the students from Our Lady of Refuge Elementary School. They also sang with me on the track.
Something Good
Production is done on "Something Good," my 4th U.S. album and I am EXCITED to unleash this to the world! I believe this album describes the musical journey I’ve had and defines who I am as a woman, as a human being. The official release date is Oct 1, 2010.
“My Funny Brown Pinay” 3 years after its release
I’m inspired and gratified to see how "My Funny Brown Pinay" has touched so many women (and men!) of color. Three years after its release the song continues to uplift and empower women of color. Here’s a recent example from an expressive and intelligent kayumangging Pinay:

Heroes at the AAJF
I discovered some heroes this weekend at the Asian American Jazz Festival:
Paul Im — the brain of the AAJF who had a vision and turned it into a reality without any reservation; the man who sold his horn to help finance the festival.
Abe Lagrimas, Jr. –- the hardworking, super humble, multi-instrumentalist virtuoso who performed three days in a row, three consecutive sets during the closing and did not miss a beat and performed each set with utmost professionalism and passion.
Hiromi –- she made me feel good to be alive.
The Charmaine Clamor Team, my musical family –- for their generous support when I needed it the most.

JAZZIPINO Tour – Manila, Philippines
My first day in Manila: Brunch at JJ’s with VIVA Records’ Marketing Group.
Such nice group of people and oh, so young!
JAZZIPINO hits Manila!
Hello, friends! I am now here in Manila to promote my new album, JAZZIPINO, on Viva Records.
I am excited to bring my music to my kababayans, my brothers & sisters. I will be doing live shows, radio & TV tour. All of the details are on my SHOWS page. See you at a live event soon! Magkita-kita po tayo.
Charmaine Clamor Wins 6th Annual Asian Heritage Award in Performing Arts
On July 25th, aboard the USS Midway in San Diego Harbor, I won the 6th Annual Asian Heritage Award in Performing Arts. The experience was made even more special by the attendance of the Guest of Honor, Major General Antonio Taguba, the Filipino-American hero who delivered the brave military report on the abuses at Abu Ghraib.
Friends, it sounds like a cliche but it’s the absolute truth: I could not have done it without you. THANK YOU. I am profoundly touched and inspired by your support.
With Gratitude
I thank all of you who joined us at Catalina Bar & Grill on April 3rd. We had a blast! I’m thrilled with the positive feedback you gave us for our new material we’ll be doing on the upcoming jazzipino album. Yey!
Great news: The Filipino Academy of Movie Arts & Sciences, the “Oscars” of the Philippines, is honoring me with a special trophy as “Philippine Pride Best Jazz Vocalist” during their “57th Annual Gabi ng Parangal,” in Manila, on June 27th. I’m looking forward to returning to the Philippines again, and I thank you for all your support, which helped earn me this tremendous honor. Maraming salamat.
I’m off to New York this weekend for a production of “The Vagina Monologues,” acting and musical directing…I hope to see you there!
