HERE'S ANOTHER talented Filipina who is gaining popularity on Facebook recently when she sang Karen Carpenter classic, You, in a Public Market in Pasig City.  The blind woman with Karen Carpenter's voice is identified as Anna Terrefiel Gusmos.

In the video, she sings while her baby sits on her lap. She sings to live music by a band composed of his husband, Reynante who plays the guitar, and Jericho Baying on keyboard.

Here's the video and listen closely:


And so you can see the similarity, here is the original version of You by Karen Carpenter




That is pure talent. The band just relies on the loose change people would drop in their can. I hope they can make a better living out of their talent.

The Philippines is indeed awash with talented people. Good luck, Anna, keep singing Karen Carpenter songs! I hope Carpenter's fans will be pleased and help Anna.
