Santos pointed out the importance of connection when it comes to teaming up with another artist on stage.
“Importante sa akin kapag nakikipag-collab ako sa isang artist, especially in a concert, close ko ‘yung tao para marami kaming paguusapan, hindi lang sa music, pati doon sa mga spiels namin,” Santos said.
“It will come naturally kasi alam namin kung gaano namin kakilala ‘yung isa’t isa and maipapasa namin ‘yun sa mga manonood,” he added.
Directed by John Prats, the concert also serves as a celebration for Santos’ 16th year and Constantino’s 12th year in the music industry.
