MANILA, Philippines – The recently concluded Pinoy Relief concert (held March 11 in New York, March 12 in Manila), at Madison Square Garden in New York, featured a star-studded lineup of both international and Filipino artists with one goal: to raise funds and help victims of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan).
Watch clips from the concert here:
YouTube phenomenon Pentatonix, known for their a cappella renditions of popular songs, performed a medley of Daft Punk songs and a cover of Calvin Harris’ “I Need Your Love” at the concert. The members were very vocal on Twitter prior to and during the event.
Pretty surreal that I’ll be singing at Madison Square Garden with @PTXofficial tonight…
