Luke Mejares ventures into dance music with Kasayaw

Luke Mejares

During the 25th Awit Awards, one of the performers at the ceremonies was Luke Mejares singing his own rendition of the Randy Santiago classic hit, Babaero. This song marks a new chapter in Luke’s music career as he speeds up the tempo with the dance album Kasayaw his third and latest album released by Ivory Music & Video.

Five years after his last album Pangako, Luke Mejares, a former South Border vocalist and current Sabado Boys member, returns to the music scene ready to ignite the dance floor with his own rendition of dance hits from the past two decades. Aside from Babaero, this album also includes the classic hits like Kasayaw (originally recorded by Archie D.), Macho Gwapito (Rico J. Puno), Magsayawan (VST and Company), and Iyong-Iyo (Ogie Alcasid). Fellow Sabado Boy Jimmy Bondoc appears on the track Macho Gwapito. Bimbo Yance, bassist of the band True Faith is the producer for this concept album.


The album also features a Pop Mix and Minus One versions of Kasayaw as well as a Minus One version of Babaero. Some longtime Luke Mejares fans may be let down by the lack of ballads and his trademark falsetto in this release, but they can be comforted by dancing and singing along to the tunes offered in this concept album. A music video for Babaero has also been released.


Luke Mejares’ Kasayaw was one of the CD releases under Ivory Music & Video that was presented during the Astroplus Blog-Connect event.
