Local music artists gathered for the Fusion 2017 concert held on Friday, January 27, at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.
Featuring the theme "Play as One," the third edition of Fusion aimed to show that there may be "different genres but one Pinoy music."
For the first time, Regine Velasquez joined the Fusion concert, which showcases only original Pinoy music. After singing "You've Made Me Stronger," Asia's Songbird jokingly told the crowd, "Hello, ako si Regine. Malapit na mag-100 years pero in fairness sa akin, di halata."
Regine shared the stage with award-winning Pinoy rapper Gloc-9. Together they performed his popular composition titled "Sirena."
