Thursday, May 01, 2008 Singer performs in HK Disneyland
YOUNG talented singer Nikki Gil visited Hong Kong Disneyland as she was chosen to sing the first ever Filipino version of one of the theme songs of Disney.
In a television interview last Tuesday, Nikki had a footage singing the Filipino version of “It’s a Small World”, which is a popular Disney theme song.
Nikki performed together with other famous pop superstars in Asia.
The Filipino, Cantonese, Mandarin and Korean language were all combined in one of a kind version of the song.
The singer not just sang the song for no reason but the Asian singers were invited for the purpose of launching the newest attraction in the amusement park called “It’s a Small World”.
It featured the “bahay-kubo (nipa house)”, which is a native Filipino house and also a symbolism of the typical living of the Filipino people.
Nikki said he felt so fortunate and delighted that even in simple ways she had added pride to the good image of the country.
“It’s for me to have been able to record in Filipino, it’s a different feeling. It’s given me an opportunity to represent our country in a good way. And I am very proud that we -- the Philippines -- we are represented in this global concept,” she said.
It is not the first time for the singer to work with Disney. Nikki previously recorded two albums with “High School Musical”. (JRDB/Sunnex)
