WATCH: El Gamma Penumbra advances to ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ grand finals
Filipino shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra on Thursday darted to the grand finals of “Asia’s Got Talent’ after receiving their second Golden Buzzer from the judges.
The group captivated their audience once again when they performed an act promoting world peace and love to Matisyahu’s inspiring song “One Day”.
“I just want to say that I live in a box, where I make music in a studio. And tonight, I got to come outside of my box and see something that was so, so moving and magical. It just amazed me,” said judge David Foster after the group’s performance.
On the show’s April 2 episode, judge Anggun pressed the Golden Buzzer for the group after they featured various tourist spots around the world, sending them straight to the semifinals.
This time she was moved to tears again. “It was really emotional and you make me really proud.”
